Solution Preview
For interference maxima by a soap film of thickness t is given as,
2*n*t = (k+(1/2))*lambda_1 ...(1)
where, n= refrective index of film = 1.33
lambda_1 = wavelegth for which there is maxima = 600 nm
k = an integer
For minima with a ...
Solution Summary
The solution works through the problem step by step to clearly arrive at the answer detailing the necessary thickness of soap film to produce the described ray of white light.
