Answer:

C

Explanation:

Thin film interference is most constructive or most destructive when the path length difference for the two rays is an integral or half-integral wavelength, respectively. That is, for rays incident perpendicularly, 2t = λn, 2λn, 3λn, . . . or  2t = λn/2, 3λn/2, 5λn/2 , .....

We see a constant phase shift off λn/2. Hence option C

Andru [333]
Sound waves need different media in order to travel. This travels by the movement of the atom transferred to another up to its destination. The speed of sound is greatest in solids since the molecules of solid are closely packed together, followed by liquid and they are slowest in gases.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Total internal reflection is going on. The refractive index of water is about 1.3, so sin 90/sin r=1/sinr=1.3. So the fish can only see objects outside the water within about 50 degrees of the vertical
