Q16

Green light is shone onto two soap films. An observer looking down at the soap
films sees that soap film X appears uniformly green while soap film Y has green and
black bands. If air is the medium on either side of the soap film, the best explanation
of this pattern is that:
A) film X has a thickness much less than A and film Y has a thickness of 1/4 A
B) film X has a thickness of 1/2 A and film Y has a thickness of 1/4 A
C) film X has a thickness of 1/4 A and film Y has a thickness of 1/2 A
film X has consistent thickness throughout whereas film Y has variable
thickness
film X has variable thickness whereas film Y has consistent thickness
E)
throughout
