Using there formula but converting nm data to wavenumbers R R D 808625.3 36 1.59 0 15151.52 19230.77

The fringes that resul wave patterns can be determine the film thi the refractive index is D= film thickness, N= number of fringes wavenumber region u n= refractive index (1 1 (660 nm) and 2 (5 are the wavelength ra

The final result wa calculated to be 3


No way I see how they got a value of 36 microns Using the formula in the example above and the data from this example using cm-1 d in microns d in cm m n R R 27.75202156 0.002775 36 1.59 0 19230.77 15151.52

How to convert microns or nm to cm -1(inverse cm)


Wavenumbers in cm-1= 10,000/m
So 10.6 microns => 943 cm-1

Wavenumbers in cm-1= 10,000,000/nm


So 632.8 nm => 15800 cm-1

fringes that result from the e patterns can be used to rmine the film thickness, if efractive index is known. ilm thickness, number of fringes in enumber region use (36), efractive index (1.59), 660 nm) and 2 (520 nm) he wavelength range

D!

N 1 1 2n  P1 P 2

e final result was culated to be 36 m

culated to be 36 m

The wavelength (wavenumber) region is the values from the up fringe peaks that that t
In this example we have a wavelength region between 420 nm and 765 nm with m = 16
