A sheet of glass with index of refraction, nglass= 1.51, is covered by a thin soap film with index of refraction, nfilm = 1.29. When viewed from directly above (i.e. normal incidence), the soap film strongly reflects red light of wavelength, red = 690 nm. Write a symbolic expression for the minimum possible film thickness, in terms of λred, nfilm, and/or nglass, then calculate its numeric value. dmin = nm
