11) PLEASE BE CLEAR ON YOUR RESPONSE AND ACCURACY, THANKS.

 

 

**Description:**

In the figure, a broad beam of light of wavelength 540 nm is sent directly downward through the top plate of a pair of glass plates. The plates are 120 mm long, touch at the left end, and are separated by 40 μm at the right end. The air between the plates acts as a thin film. 

**Question:**

How many bright fringes will be seen by an observer looking down through the top plate?

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows the following:

- Two slightly angled glass plates with a narrowing gap of air between them. The plates touch at the left end and are separated at the right end.
- Incident light is represented by several parallel red arrows pointing downward toward the glass plates.

**Input Section:**

There is a field labeled "Number" for input, with an informational icon next to it, and a dropdown menu labeled "Units" for selecting the measurement unit.
