A thin layer of oil (n=1.28) spills onto the surface of a nearby lake (water has n=1.33). It produces maximum reflection for orange ligh ( 580 nm wavelength). Assuming the maximum occurs in the first order, determine the thickness of the oil slick. Note that by "first order" we mean that this is the minimum amount of shifting required for reflection to occur.
