Interference of Light

Problem 5.80

Find the minimum thickness of a film with refractive index 1.33 at which light with wavelength \(0.64 \mu \mathrm{m}\) experiences maximum reflection while light with wavelength \(0.40 \mu \mathrm{m}\) is not reflected at all. The incidence angle of light is equal to \(30^{\circ}\).
