Question

why does an excessively thin film appear black in reflected light?

Open in App
Solution

Excessively thin film is black in reflected system .the effective path diffrence between the interfering reflected rays is 2μcosr-λ2. when the film is excessivlythin ,so that the t is practically zero,the effective path diffrence is λ2.this is the condition for minimum intensity .hence the film appears dark .
