Answer:
the reflected wavelength is lano = 4.55 10⁻⁷ m which corresponds to the blue color
Explanation:
This is a case of reflection interference, we must be careful
* There is a 180º phase change when light passes from the air to the soap film (n = 1,339), but there is no phase change when passing from the pomp to the plastic (n = 1.3)
* the wavelength within the film is modulated by the refractive index
λₙ = λ₀ / n
if we consider these relationships the condition for constructive interference is
2 t = (m + ½) λₙ
2t = (m + ½) λ₀ / n
λ₀ = 2t n / (m + ½)
we substitute the values
λ₀= 2 255 10⁻⁹ 1,339 / (m + ½)
λ₀ = 6.829 10⁻⁷ (m + ½)
let's calculate the wavelength for various interference orders
m = 0
λ₀ = 6.829 10⁻⁷/ ( 0 + ½ )
λ₀ = 13.6 10⁻⁷
it is not visible
m = 1
λ₀ = 6,829 10⁻⁷/ (1 + ½)
λ₀ = 4.55 10⁻⁷
color blue
m = 2
λ₀ = 6.829 10⁻⁷ / (2 + ½)
λ₀ = 2,7 10⁻⁷
it is not visible
therefore the reflected wavelength is lano = 4.55 10⁻⁷ m which corresponds to the blue color
