A thin air film is formed by putting the convex surface of a plane-convex lens over a plane glass plate. With monochromatic light, this film gives an interference pattern due to light reflected from the top (convex) surface and the bottom (glass plate) surface of the film.
Statement I : When light reflects from the air-glass plate interface, the reflected wave suffers a phase change of .
Statement II : The centre of the interference pattern is dark.
Statement I : When light reflects from the air-glass plate interface, the reflected wave suffers a phase change of .
Statement II : The centre of the interference pattern is dark.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is not the correct explanation for Statement I
Option B (Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is not the correct explanation for Statement I) is correct because both statements are true, but the dark center is due to a phase change upon reflection and the small air gap at the center.
