Extract

It is shown that the white light fringe obtained with Brewster's fringes or with ‘scatter’ fringes has a breadth which decreases with the reflexion coefficient R of the film surfaces. The decrease of intensity from the centre of the fringe is given by the usual Fabry-Perot formula except that R is replaced by R2.
