    White light may be considered to be a mixture of waves with l ranging between\[3900\,\,{AA}\]and\[7800\,\,{AA}\]. An oil film of thickness\[10,000\,\,{AA}\]is examined normally by reflected light. If m = 1.4, then the film appears bright for

    A) \[4308\,\,{AA},\,\,5091\,\,{AA},\,\,6222\,\,{AA}\]

    B) \[4000\,\,{AA},\,\,5091\,\,{AA},\,\,5600\,\,{AA}\]

    C) \[4667\,\,{AA},\,\,6222\,\,{AA},7000\,\,{AA}\]

    D) \[4000\,\,{AA},\,\,4667\,\,{AA},\,\,5600\,\,{AA},\,\,7000\,\,{AA}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The film appears bright when the path difference \[(2\mu \,t\,\cos r)\] is equal to odd multiple of \[\frac{\lambda }{2}\] i.e. \[2\mu t\cos r=(2n-1)\ \lambda /2\]     where \[n=1,\,\,2,\,\,3\,\,.....\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\lambda =\frac{4\mu \,t\,\cos r}{(2n-1)}\] \[=\frac{4\times 1.4\times 10,000\times {{10}^{-10}}\times \cos 0}{(2n-1)}=\frac{56000}{(2n-1)}{AA}\] \[\therefore \,\,\lambda =56000\,{AA}\] \[18666\,{AA},\] \[8000\,{AA},\] \[6222\,{AA},\] \[5091\,{AA},\] \[4308\,{AA},\] \[3733\,{AA}.\] The wavelength which are not within specified range are to be refracted.
