**Educational Content: Thin Film Interference and Thermal Expansion**A thin uniform film with a refractive index of 1.750 is placed on a sheet of glass having a refractive index of 1.50. At room temperature (22.4 °C), the film is of thickness such that it cancels out light with a wavelength of 580.5 nm. When the glass is heated in an oven to 176 °C, the film then cancels reflected light with a wavelength of 588.0 nm. **Problem:**Calculate the coefficient of linear expansion of the film. Assume there are no changes in the refractive index of the film due to temperature variations.**Instructions:**Provide your answer using two significant figures.**Input Box:**α = [Input Field] (°C)⁻¹ Submit your answer and, if needed, request guidance for solving the problem.
