Question:

A glass plate (n = 1.61) is covered with a thin, uniform layer of oil (n = 1.20). A light beam of variable wavelength is normally incident from air onto the oil surface. Observation of the reflected beam shows destructive interference at 500 nm and constructive interference at 750 nm. From this information, calculate the thickness of the oil film.
