A soap bubble (n = 1.28) having a wall thickness of 127  

A soap bubble (n = 1.28) having a wall thickness of 127 nm is floating in air. (a) What is the wavelength of the visible light that is most strongly reflected? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. nm (b) Explain how a bubble of different thickness could also strongly reflect light of this same wavelength. Score: 1 out of 1 Comment: (c) Find the two smallest film thicknesses larger than the one given that can produce strongly reflected light of this same wavelength. Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. nm (smaller thickness) Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. nm (larger thickness)
