If a soap bubble (thin film) with a refractive index of n = 1.33 has a thickness of 4x10^-6 meters, what is the wavelength of light that produces a bright spot due to constructive interference?
Added by Francis R.
Step 1
The formula for the wavelength of light that produces a bright spot due to constructive interference in a soap bubble is given by: 2nt = mλ where: - n is the refractive index of the soap bubble - t is the thickness of the soap bubble - m is the order of the Show more…

What is the minimum thickness of a soap bubble film with refractive index 1.50 that results in a constructive interference in the reflected light if this film is illuminated by a beam of light of wavelength 580 nm?
Prabhu R.
A beam of monochromatic light experiences constructive interference when it shines on a soap film with a thickness of $183 \mathrm{~nm}$ and an index of refraction of $1.35$. What is the wavelength of the light? (Assume that $m=0$.)
