Light waves are reflected from front and back surfaces of the thin films and constructive interference between the two reflected waves occurs in different places for different wavelengths. Light shining on the upper surface of the thin film with thickness t is partly reflected at the upper surface (path abc). Light transmitted from the upper surface is partly reflected at the lower surface (path abdef). The two reflected waves come together at point P on the retina of the eye. Depending on the phase relationship, they may interfere constructively or destructively. Different colors have different wavelengths, so the interference may be constructive for some colors and destructive for others.
Explanation :
When an electron jumps from one energy level to another, the energy of atom gets changed.
If a photon gets absorbed, the electron will move to higher energy levels and then fall back to the lower energy levels. Then each time a photon will be absorbed whose energy is given by difference between the initial and final energy levels i.e
In Balmer series, the transition is from higher energy levels to n = 2.
So, the necessary condition for Balmer series is that the electron should be at first excited state or n = 2 level as shown in figure.
