Everytime light hits a surface (air to water) light is reflected.
TRUE
FALSE
If the film is a higher index of refraction - the light wave will slow down.
TRUE
FALSE
If the index of refraction of the film is higher than air - the reflected ray will undergo a phase shift.
TRUE
FALSE
Everytime light hits a "thin film" - there is a phase shift.
TRUE
FALSE

Light can reflect from any interface where th
ere is a change in refractive index.
TRUE
FALSE
Thin film interference is caused by a change of index of refraction in a material and the light refracting through a boundary.
