Expert Solution
Step 1

Given

The refractive index of the film is n=1.333

the wavelength of the light is λ=620nm=620×10-9m

 

Since the interference is constructive then

2nt=λ2

where t is the thickness of the film, then 

t=λ4n=620nm4×1.33=116.54nm

Hence the thickness of the film is 116.54 nm
