![A laser impinges on a thin
film (n = 2) sandwiched by two materials
(n₁ <nf < n₂). The top material (₁) is
relatively thick. The laser can take on wavelength
Ao values from 500 [nm] to 2000 [nm]. Within
this range, constructive interference occurs only
for two wavelength values, 500 [nm] and another
wavelength. The respective orders of the
wavelengths do not differ by more than one. How
thick is the thin film? [Hint: First determine the
constraints on the order corresponding to
Xo = 500 [nm].]
