**Transmission through Thin Layers** 

In the figure, light is incident perpendicularly on a thin layer of material 2 that lies between (thicker) materials 1 and 3. (The rays are tilted only for clarity.) Part of the light ends up in material 3 as ray \(r_3\) (the light does not reflect inside material 2) and \(r_4\) (the light reflects twice inside material 2). The waves of \(r_3\) and \(r_4\) interfere, and here we consider the type of interference to be either maximum (max) or minimum (min). The table below provides the indices of refraction \(n_1\), \(n_2\), and \(n_3\), the type of interference, and the thin layer thickness \(L\) in nanometers. Give the wavelength that is in the visible range.

**Diagram Explanation:**

- A vertical representation of three layers is depicted with:
  - \(n_1\) for material 1 on the left,
  - \(n_2\) for the thin layer of material 2 in the middle, with thickness \(L\) indicated,
  - \(n_3\) for material 3 on the right.
- The incident light ray \(i\) travels through these layers:
  - It forms ray \(r_3\) which exits the material without reflection inside layer 2.
  - Ray \(r_4\) reflects twice within material 2 and exits.

**Table of Values:**

| \(n_1\) | \(n_2\) | \(n_3\) | Type | \(L\) (nm) | \(\lambda\) (nm) |
|---------|---------|---------|------|------------|------------------|
| 1.77    | 1.66    | 1.57    | max  | 411        |                  |

**Input Fields:** 

- **Number**: (With information tooltip)
- **Units**: (Dropdown selection) 

This setup provides data to calculate the wavelength of light that remains within the visible spectrum after interference.
