MCQ
A very thin film in reflected white light appears:
  • A
    coloured
  • B
    white
  • C
    black
  • D
    red

Answer

  1. black

Explanation:

For very thin films the distance travelled inside the film is insignificant and so the two reflected waves are almost exactly out of phase with each other (due to the phase change at one surface); they interfere destructively and the film appears 'black'.
