find the minimum thickness (in nm) of a soap bubble that appears yellow when illuminated by white light perpendicular to its surface. take the wavelength to be 583 nm, and assume the same index of refraction as water.

Respuesta :

The minimum thickness of soap bubble is 145.7 nm.

We know that the condition for constructive interference:

2nt = λ/2

where,

          n = refractive index

           t = minimum thickness

          λ = wavelength

Here n = 1 ( refractive index of water)

i.e. t = λ/4

Given wavelength (λ) = 583 nm

Putting this value in above equation we get: t = 145.7 nm

So  the minimum thickness of a soap bubble is 145.7 nm.
