Light incident on a thin film is reflected and transmitted at each surface. Why does a thin film have to be "thin" for an interference pattern to form?
a. Light would not penetrate a thick film. b. The surfaces of the film must be as close to perfectly parallel as possible. Irregularities would be magnified in a thick film. c. The thickness of the film must be less than the wavelength of light. d. Light is not slowed down when it enters into a thin film. e. Light speeds up as it enters a thin film.
