A coating is being applied to reduce the reflectivity of a pane of glass to light with a frequency of 5.69 x 1014 Hz that is incident normally on the pane. If the material has an index of refraction of 1.36 and the glass has an index of refraction of 1.537, what is the minimum thickness the coating should have in nanometers? Please keep one decimal place in your answer. (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s)
