Question
A Parallel beam of white light is incident on a thin film of air of uniform thickness.  Wavelengths 7200˙A and 5400˙A are observed to be missing from the spectrum of reflected light viewed normally.  The other wavelength in the visible region missing in the reflected  spectrum is 
Options:
A .  6000˙A
B .  4320˙A
C .  5500˙A
D .  6500˙A
Answer: Option B
:
B
The wavelength missing from the reflected spectrum must satisfy the condition, 2μt=nλ where t is
thickness of air film.
2μt=nλ1=(n+1)λ2
or n×(7200)=(n+1)5400
n=3
The next wavelength must satisfy the condition
nλ1=(n+2)λ2
or 7200×3=(3+2)λ2=5λ2
λ2=4320˙A
