Question 20 GCE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2025 • PHYSICS • objective

A thin film of oil (refractive index \(n = 1.45\)) coats water (refractive index \(1.33\)). Light of wavelength \(600\ \text{nm}\) in vacuum is incident normally from air onto the oil film and the reflected light shows a bright fringe due to constructive interference. Determine the minimum non‑zero thickness of the oil film that will produce a dark fringe for light of wavelength \(500\ \text{nm}\) (also in vacuum) reflected from the same film. Assume a phase change of \(\pi\) occurs when light reflects from a medium of higher refractive index.
