Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the sc…

Textbook Question

Chapter 28, Problem 28PCE

Figure 28-46 shows four different cases where light of wavelength λ reflects from both the top and the bottom of a thin film of thickness d. The indices of refraction of the film and the media above and below it are indicated in the figure. For which of the cases will the two reflected rays undergo constructive interference if (a) d= λ4 or (b) d = λ2?
