A possible means for making an airplane invisible to radar is to coat the plane with an antireflective polymer. If radar waves have a wavelength of 3.00 cm and the index of refraction of the polymer is $n=1.50,$ how thick would you make the coating? Assume $n_{\text { airplane }}>1.50$ .
An airplane is made invisible to radar by coating it with a 5.00 -mm-thick layer of an antireflective polymer with index of refraction $n=1.50 .$ What is the wavelength of the radar waves for which the plane is made invisible?
