Compute the wavelength that interferes destructively at normal incidence from film index n, thickness t in nanometres and order m. For coating and anti-reflection design.
输入膜折射率 n、厚度 t(纳米)与级次 m,求相消干涉波长。
| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Destructive interference (normal incidence) | 2 n t = (m + 1/2) λ, λ = 2 n t / (m + 0.5) (complementary to the constructive condition) | Standard thin-film interference (Hecht, Optics, §9.8) |
| Half-wave (π) phase shift | When a boundary carries a π phase shift, the constructive/destructive conditions swap; confirm against the actual path | Fresnel reflection coefficients (Fresnel, 1821) |
