Soap bubbles can display impressive colors, which are the result of the enhanced reflection of light of particular wavelengths from the bubbles' walls. For a soap solution with an index of refraction of 1.21, find the minimum wall thickness that will enhance the reflection of light of wavelength 711 nm in air.

the minimum wall thickness that will enhance the reflection of light is 146.9 nm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

At the first interface, a phase shift occurs as the incident light is in air that has less refractive index compare to the thin film of soap bubble.

At the second interface, no shift occurs,

condition for constructive interference;

t = ( m + 1/2) × λ/2n

where m = 0, 1, 2, 3 . . . . . .

now, the condition for the constructive interference;

t = mλ/2n

where t is the thickness of the soap bubble,  λ is the wavelength of light and n is the refractive index of soap bubble.

so the minimum thickness of the film which will enhance reflection of light will be;

t =  ( m + 1/2) × λ/2n

we substitute

t =  ( 0 + 1/2) × 711 /2(1.21)

t = 0.5 × 711/2.42

t = 0.5 × 293.80165

t = 146.9 nm

Therefore,  the minimum wall thickness that will enhance the reflection of light is 146.9 nm

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
