A physicist visits a wealthy friend (marketing major) who has aswimming pool. The physicist (a theoretician) accidentally spills afew drops of suntan lotion and a thin oil film (n =1.23) spreads over the water. The physicist observes that there ismaximum reflection for light of wavelength 595 nm at normalincidence. Calculate the minimum thickness of the oil film in nm.
