A thin coating is applied to a lens to protect against UV light. The coating strongly
reflects light of wavelength 384 nm and strongly transmits light of wavelength 528 nm
(i.e. visible light, near the middle of the visible spectrum.) The index of refraction of the
coating material is 1.58 and the lens is made of a material with index 1.48. Find the
smallest possible thickness for the coating.
