Determine the minimum non-zero thickness of the oil film

Reference no: EM13540309

A glass plate (n = 1.60) is covered with a thin, uniform layer of oil (n = 1.29). A light beam of variable wavelength from air is incident normally on the oil surface. Observation of the reflected beam shows constructive interference at 511 nm. Determine the minimum non-zero thickness of the oil film.
