Question
At a particular spot on a soap bubble
(n = 1.33), you see red light at 675 nm.
If that is from the longest (m = 1)
wavelength possible, how thick is the
bubble at that point IN NANOMETERS?
(Hint: If you leave the wavelength in nm,
the answer will be in nm. No conversion
necessary.)
(Unit = nm)
