A flat piece of glass is held stationary and horizontal above the highly polished, flat top end of a 9.00-cm-long vertical metal rod that has its lower end rigidly fixed. The thin film of air between the rod and glass is observed to be bright by reflected light when it is illuminated by light of wavelength 515 nm. As the temperature is slowly increased by 25.5°C, the film changes from bright to dark and back to bright 200 times. What is the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal?

Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.
