The wavelength of light n in a medium whose refraction index is n is n = 0 n. The condition for constructive interference in thin films is 2t = (m+ 1 2 ) n 2nt = 0 (m = 0, 1, 2, ) the color pattern is due to variation of thickness of films.

A wave traveling from a medium of index of refraction n 1
toward a medium of index of refraction n 2 undergoes a 180 phase change upon reflection when n 2 > n 1 . There is no phase change in the reflected wave if n 2 < n 1 .
37.6 Interference in Thin Films Why thin films of oil on water and soap bubbles displays color patterns?
Review: The wavelength of light n in a medium whose refraction index is n is n =
0 n , where 0 is the wavelength of light in free space.
The condition for constructive interference in thin films is 2t = (m+ 1 2 ) n
2nt = (m+ 1 2 ) 0 (m = 0, 1, 2, ) This takes into account (1) differences in the distances traveled by two rays and (2) phase changes that occur upon reflection.
The condition for destructive interference in thin films is 2nt = m (m = 0, 1, 2, )
The color pattern is due to variation of thickness of films. Newton's Rings
Example: Calculate the thickness of a soap bubble film (n = 1.33) that results in constructive interference with 600 nm light. Solution: For constructive interference: 2nt = (m + 1 2 ) (m = 0, 1, 2, ) Thus, t = (m + 1 2 ) 2n = (m+ 1 2 )600nm 2(1.33) = (m + 1 2 )225.6nm t = 113 nm, 338 nm, 789 nm, and so on.
Example: Nonreflective coating for solar cells. A transparent thin film of silicon monoxide (SiO, n = 1.45) is coated on the surface of a solar cell (n = 3.5) to minimize reflective losses. Determine the minimum film thickness that produces the least reflection at a wavelength of 550 nm, near the center of the visible spectrum.
Solution: Reflected bean #1 and #2 must have destructive interference.
Since both beams have 180 phase change, the condition for the destructive interference is
2t = (m+ 1 2 ) SiO = (m+ 1 2 ) / n SiO
For the minimum thickness, m = 0 t = / 4n SiO = 550nm/(4 1.45) = 94.8 nm
