PASSAGE-II [QUESTIONS 24-29]
Thin films, including soap bubbles and oil slicks, show patterns of
alternating dark and bright regions resulting from interference among
the reflected light waves. If two waves are in phase their crest and
troughs will coincide. The interference will be constructive and the
amplitude of the resultant wave will be greater than the amplitude of
either constituent wave. If the two waves are out of phase, the crests of
one wave will coincide with the troughs of the other wave. The
interference will be destructive and the amplitude of the resultant
wave will be less than that of either constituent wave.

as ray R.
Ra, and Rc are parallel. However, R has travelled the extra distance
within the film of abc. If the angle of incidence is small, then abc is
approximately twice the films thickness.
II. For reflection at the interface between two media 1 and 2, if n 1 < n2
the reflected wave will change phase by it. If n1 > n2 the reflected wave
will not undergo a phase change.
For reference nair = 1.00.
III. If the waves are in phase after reflection at all interfaces, then the
effects of path length in the film are Constructive interference occur
when : (n = refractive index)
2t = m/n
m = 0, 1, 2, 3,
Destructive interference occurs when:
2t = (m + 1/2)/n
m = 0, 1, 2, 3,
If the waves are 180 out of phase after reflection at all interfaces then
the effects of path length on the film are Constructive interence
occurs when:
2t = (m + 1/2)/n
m = 0, 1, 2, 3,
Destructive interference occurs when:
2t = m/n
m = 0, 1, 2, 3,

The range over which clear vision is possible is bounded by the far
point and the near point. In normal vision the far point is infinity and
the near point depends on the radius of curvature of the lens. For
normal eyes the average near point for reading is 25 m.
