What values of the phase difference (A$) between rays 1 an 2 lead to constructive interference in the reflected light? Aộ = Light with a wavelength in air of A = 557 nm illuminates the soap film with normal incidence (0, = 0). Calculate the wave number kg of the light when it travels in the soap film. Please write the value (to 3 decimals) in the first space and the units in the second. Calculate the minimum thickness of the soap film that leads to constructive interference in the reflected light. Please write the numerical value in the first space and the units in the second.

Expert Solution
Step 1
Wave length of the light in the air is
Refractive index of Air is n=1
Refractive index of soap is ns=1.33
Step 2
By Snell's law,
Again applying Snell's law,
On comparing expression 1 and 2, we can say that
From the above we can say that ray 1 and ray 4 are parallel and therefore, for the constructive interference, the phase difference should be even multiple of .
