Concept explainers
The three possible thickness of the plastic to produce a blue strip for the given wavelength.
Answer to Problem 38A
The three possible thickness of the plastic are
Explanation of Solution
Given :
The
The index of refraction of the plastic is
Formula used:
Consider a light ray falls on the plastic, a part of the light passes through the plastic and the remaining part of the light gets refracted by the plastic.
The expression for the thickness
Here,
Calculation:
Consider light ray falls on the plastic, a part of the light passes through the plastic and other part of the light gets refracted by the plastic.
Find the three possible thickness
Consider the value of the whole number,
Consider the value of the whole number,
Consider the value of the whole number,
Conclusion:
Thus, the three possible thickness of the plastic are
