Previous page : Reflections on a metal
You can find a simulation of thin film interference on this page. You can read a bit about it there. I have by purpose not mentioned too much, but rather left it to you to explore. Why not try to find the conditions for destructive interference, i.e. no reflection? You can move the rightmost surface to vary the distance between the surfaces. You can stop the simulation by pressing the Esc key.
