What is the refractive index of the oil

Reference no: EM13521539

White light illuminates an oil film on water. Viewing it directly from above, it looks red. Assume that the reflected red light has a wavelength of 615 nm in air, and that the oil has a thickness of 2.670e-7 m. What is the refractive index of the oil? Assume that the refractive index of water is greater than that of the oil.
