A physicist visits a wealthy friend (marketing major) who has a swimming pool. The physicist (a theoretician) accidentally spills a few drops of suntan lotion and a thin oil film (n = 1.26) spreads over the water. The physicist observes that there is maximum reflection for light of wavelength 602 nm at normal incidence. Calculate the minimum thickness of the oil film.
