Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.

A beam of light with wavelength 440 nm in air hits a thin piece of glass 10.28 microns thick (with refractive index 1.55) at an angle of 40.8 degrees to the normal. What is the path difference between the two reflections from the layers of the glass, in wavelengths? [Note to get the phase shift we multiply this number by 2π, but this is modulo 2π, i.e. any integer number of wavelengths are 2π phase shifts, equivalent to no phase shift... basically in terms of phase we only really need the non-integer part of your answer. Note also that for the phase shift we would need to add a π for the reflection off the glass-air interface.]
