Monochromatic light is directed at normal incidence on a thin film. There is destructive interference for the reflected light, so the intensity of the reflected light is very low. What happened to the energy of the incident light?

  1. Transmitted through the thin film!

    Just remember "RATS":

    R+A+T+S=1

    R=fraction reflected light

    A=fraction absorbed light

    T=fraction transmitted light

    S=fraction scattered light
