Approximate thickness of oil film to observe interference of light (due to which it looks coloured) is
(1) 10 mm (2) 10–3 mm (3) 10 pm (4) 1 cm
Dear Student
For the asked condition, the thickness of film must be of the order of the wavelength of light.
Only if the film thickness is of the order of the wavelength of light 600010-10 m = 6 × 10-7 m will interference be observed.
The best choice is given as,
10000 A0 = 10 4 × 10-10 m = 10-6 m or 10-6 × 103 mm = 10-3 mm
Option 2 is matched.
For the asked condition, the thickness of film must be of the order of the wavelength of light.
Only if the film thickness is of the order of the wavelength of light 6000
The best choice is given as,
Option 2 is matched.
