What is the thinnest film of MgF₂ (n = 1.38) on glass that produces a strong reflection for orange light with a wavelength of 600 nm?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Thickness is 217 nm

Explanation:

For a thin film, constructive and destructive interference each has its own effects. Here constructive interference causes the light to be strongly reflected.  The thickness can be determined from

[tex]2\times t\times n \times sin\theta=m\lambda[/tex]

here n is refractive index 1.38, m=1 , [tex]\theta[/tex]=0, [tex]\lambda[/tex]=600 nm

[tex]t=\frac{600 \times 10^{-9}}{2\times 1.38} \\t=217 nm[/tex]
