The first minimum in a single-slit diffraction pattern occurs at sin(θ) = λ/a, where a is the width of the slit.

Angular width = 2λ/a = 2(500 nm)/(0.5 mm) = 2(500 x 10^-9)/(0.5 x 10^-3) = 0.002 rad.

Angular width = 2λ/a. Here, a = 0.5 mm = 500 μm, so angular width = 2 * 500 nm / 500 μm = 0.002 rad = 0.2 rad.

The first minimum in a single-slit diffraction pattern occurs at θ = λ/a, where a is the width of the slit.

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

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

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.

The colors in soap bubbles are due to thin film interference caused by the reflection and refraction of light at the film's surfaces.

When light reflects off a medium with a higher refractive index, a phase change of π occurs, leading to destructive interference.

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 the film λ' = λ/n. If λ = 900 nm, then λ' = 900 nm / 1.5 = 600 nm.

For constructive interference in a thin film, the condition is 2t = mλ, where m is an integer.

For destructive interference in a thin film, the condition is 2t = (m + 1/2)λ, where m is an integer.

For destructive interference in a thin film, the condition is 2t = (m + 1/2)λ, where m is an integer.

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.

Constructive interference for blue light indicates that blue will be the color seen due to the film thickness.

The color seen depends on the thickness of the film and the wavelength of light. Typically, red is seen due to constructive interference for certain thicknesses.

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 of the film with thickness λ/2, destructive interference occurs for all wavelengths, leading to no color.

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.
