Given:
n = 1.42
Thickness, t = 84.8 nm
m = 1
Let's find the wavelength in Nanometers of the brightest reflected color.
Apply the formula:
[tex]t=(m-\frac{1}{2})(\frac{\lambda}{2n})[/tex]Where:
• t = 84.8 nm
,• m = 1
,• n = 1.42
Plug in the values in the formula and solve for the wavelength λ:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 84.8=(1-\frac{1}{2})(\frac{\lambda}{2*1.42}) \\ \\ 84.8=(\frac{1}{2})(\frac{\lambda}{2.84}) \\ \\ 84.8=\frac{\lambda}{2*2.84} \\ \\ 84.8=\frac{\lambda}{5.68} \\ \\ \lambda=84.8*5.68 \\ \\ \lambda=481.67\text{ nm} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the wavelength is 481.67 nm.
• ANSWER:
481.67 nm
