Please answer each of the following using complete sentences:1.What was the oil-film thickness for the color memorized?Give a name for the color, too, when answering.2.The oil may have had bands of color where there was more than one layer of magenta. Each of these indicates an increase of about 260nm in the total film thickness. Try to remember how many bands of magenta were seen, and use it to estimate the total thickness of the colorful film.3.After about 5000nm of thickness, the reflected color is so mixed it looks white and the film is no longer “thin.” The usual assumption of engineers is a “factor of 10” limit: A thin film must not exceed 10 times ≈500nm. What is so special about this wavelength?
