A light ray is traveling in air with an index of refraction of unity and it is reflected at the boundary or a second medium with an index of refraction n. Consider the optical coating on a glass lens where the index of refraction of the coating is n, where n is greater than the index of refraction of the air. Assume: The index of refraction of the lens is greater than that of the coating. To minimize the reflection of a ray with a wavelength 500nm and incident angle θ=0, what is the minimum nonzero thickness of the coating?

    Explanation:

    Thickness coating = t

    wavelength of light λ = 500 nm

    2 t = (m+0.5) λ

    Here m = 0

    t = λ/4

    = 500/4 nm

    = 125 nm

    = 125*10^ (-9) m
