As the angle of incidence increases, the effective path difference changes, causing a shift in the observed colors.

When light reflects off a denser medium, it undergoes a phase change of π (180 degrees).

For the first dark fringe in thin film interference, the condition is 2nt = (m + 1/2)λ, where m = 0.

For constructive interference in thin films, the condition is 2nt = mλ, where m is an integer.

Destructive interference occurs when 2t = (m + 1/2)λ, where m is an integer.

Red light has the longest wavelength and will appear at the center of the interference pattern.

A dark fringe occurs when the path difference is an odd multiple of the wavelength (λ/2), leading to destructive interference.

Destructive interference in thin films occurs when the effective path difference is an odd multiple of half the wavelength, given by 2t = (m + 1/2)λ.

For constructive interference in a thin film with a denser medium below, the condition is 2t = mλ.

Wavelength in oil = λ/n, where n is the refractive index of oil. Assuming n = 1.5, λ_oil = 600 nm / 1.5 = 400 nm.

Destructive interference for blue light means blue light is canceled out, allowing longer wavelengths (like red) to be seen.

The color that is most prominently reflected depends on the thickness of the film and the wavelength of light. Typically, shorter wavelengths (like blue) are more affected by thin films.

At the center, where the path difference is λ, constructive interference occurs, and the color that appears depends on the wavelength of light, typically red for thin films.

If the film thickness causes constructive interference for blue light, blue will be the color that appears most prominently.

The color that appears depends on the thickness of the film and the wavelength of light. Blue light has a shorter wavelength and will be more prominently reflected.

If the film thickness causes constructive interference for blue light, blue will be the color that appears at the topmost layer.

The color that appears depends on the thickness of the film and the wavelength of light. Typically, red light is least affected by thin film interference.

If destructive interference occurs for blue light, the complementary color (red) will appear bright.

Constructive interference in thin films often enhances the green color due to the specific thickness of the film and the wavelength of light.

The colorful patterns in a thin film are due to interference of light waves reflected from the top and bottom surfaces of the film.

Effective wavelength in the film = λ/n = 500 nm / 1.33 ≈ 375 nm.

Different colors are seen due to interference of light waves reflected from different thicknesses of the soap film, which changes with angle.

Different colors are seen because different wavelengths of light interfere constructively at different angles due to the varying thickness of the soap film.

The path difference for the first order maximum is given by d sin θ = λ, hence the path difference is λ sin θ.

Increasing the distance between the slits (d) decreases the fringe width, which in turn reduces the number of visible fringes on the screen.

Increasing the distance between the slits (d) decreases the fringe separation, as fringe separation is inversely proportional to d.

Fringe spacing (β) is directly proportional to the distance to the screen (D). If D is doubled, the fringe spacing also doubles.

At the first minimum, the intensity is 0 due to destructive interference.

At the first minimum, the intensity is 0 due to destructive interference.

Increasing the intensity from one slit increases the overall intensity of the interference pattern.
