A Fabry-Perot device contains two parallel part-reflective surfaces, each with a power reflection coefficient R = 0.9, separated by an air gap of 0.05 mm. The device is used at near-normal inci- dence with a transmission maximum at wavelength 600 nm. Calculate the coefficient of finesse, and the resolving power.
