1. For a thin film, dark bands will occur when 2 t = m ? -----------------(1) as m = 0 corresponds to the points where the plates meet,( m + 1 ) represents the number of fringes.
Hence m = 27
Substituting in equation (1) we get ? = 9.05? m
2. for this question you use thisformula t=Nλ2 N is numberof fringes , ? is wva length
