Thin-Film Interference calculator
Reflection maximum of a film between lower-index media (one π phase flip, e.g. a soap film).
Category: Diffraction
Formula: 2·n·t = (m + ½)·λ
Inputs
| Input | Parameter | Unit | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| λ | lam | nm | 550 |
| Film n | n | 1.38 | |
| Order m | m | 0 |
Result with the default inputs
- Min thickness: 99.6377 nm
- QWOT: 99.6377 nm
Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/thin-film-interference?lam=550. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
