Light of several wavelengths strikes a thin film of index 1.4. The thickness of the thin film is 320 nm and sits on a water, which has an index of refraction of 1.33. Which wavelength will produce the least reflected light: 440 nm or 580 nm? Include a diagram. Clearly outline the steps of your thought process.
