Thin-Film Interference in Different Media
Two thin films with identical thickness $$t = \lambda/4$$ (measured in the film) are made of the same material ($$n = 1.45$$). Film A is in air while Film B is submerged in glycerin ($$n = 1.47$$). How will the interference patterns in reflected light compare?
A
Both films show constructive interference
B
Both films show destructive interference
C
Film A shows constructive interference, Film B shows destructive
D
Film A shows destructive interference, Film B shows constructive
