a material having and index of refraction of 1.30 is used as an anti-reflective coating on a piece of glass (n=1.50). what should the minimum thickness of the thin film be to minimize reflection of 500-nm light
Added by Adam M.
Step 1
We need to find the minimum thickness of an anti-reflective coating to minimize the reflection of 500-nm light. The index of refraction of the coating is \( n_1 = 1.30 \) and the index of refraction of the glass is \( n_2 = 1.50 \). Show more…

A material having an index of refraction of 1.30 is used as an antireflective coating on a piece of glass $(n=1.50)$ . What should be the minimum thickness of this film in order to minimize reflection of $500-$ nm light?
A material having an index of refraction of 1.40 is used as an antireflective coating on a piece of glass (n = 1.50). What should be the minimum thickness of this film in order to minimize reflection of 600 nm light?

Camera Lens A camera lens with index of refraction greater than $1.30$ is coated with a thin transparent film of index of refraction $1.25$ to eliminate by interference the reflection of light at wavelength $\lambda$ that is incident perpendicularly on the lens. In terms of $\lambda$, what minimum film thickness is needed?
