Answer:
The thickness is [tex]t = 1.415 *10^{-7 } \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 566 \ nm = 566 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
The index of refraction of glass is [tex]n_g = 1.71[/tex]
The index of refraction of the coating is [tex]n= 1.46[/tex]
Generally the condition for destructive interference is
[tex]2 t = (m + \frac{1}{2} ) * \frac{\lambda }{n }[/tex]
Here m is the order of the interference pattern and given from the question that we are considering minimizing reflection m = 0
t = thickness of the coating
substituting values
[tex]2 t = (0 + \frac{1}{2} ) * \frac{ 566 *10^{-9}}{ 1.46 }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = 1.415 *10^{-7 } \ m[/tex]
