A) Angle of incidence
B) Angle of reflection
C) Thickness of Film
D) None of the above
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
When a thin film of oil spreads over the surface of water, and observed in broad day light, then brilliant colours are observed. These colours arise due to interference of sunlight reflected from lower and upper surfaces of the film. If thickness of film at a point is such that optical path difference\[\delta =0,\lambda ,2\lambda ,3\lambda ,.....\] then the film appears dark and if\[\delta =\frac{\lambda }{2},\frac{3\lambda }{2},\frac{5\lambda }{2},....\] film will appear bright. Hence, colours of soap film change because of thickenss of film.
