A soap bubble is essentially a thin film of water surrounded by air. The colors you see in soap bubbles are produced by interference. What visible wavelengths of light are strongly reflected from a 390-nm-thick soap bubble? What color would such a soap bubble appear to be?
Anti-reflective coatings on camera lenses and glasses work by utilizing thin-film interference to greatly reduce reflected light. (Ever wondered why your glasses have a bluish/magenta tint when they reflect light? It's from that thin film!)We wish to coat flat glass (n=1.50) with a transparent material (n=1.25), so that reflection of light at wavelength 402.375nm is eliminated by interference. What is the minimum thickness (nm) of the coating that will work for our purposes?
What is the thickness of the film of Cryolite (R.I.= 1.36) is coated on a glass surface (R.I.=1.55)to increase the transmission of the normally incident light of wavelength 5893 A.U.
