Chapter 34, Problem 28P
(II) A thin oil slick (no = 1.50) finals on water (nW = 1.33). When a beam of white light strikes this film at normal incidence from air, the only enhanced reflected colors are red (650 nm) and violet (390 nm). From this information, deduce the (minimum) thickness t of the oil slick.
