Our discussion of the techniques for determining constructive and destructive interference by reflection from a thin film in air has been confined to rays striking the film at nearly normal incidence. What If? Assume a ray is incident at an angle of 30.0° (relative to the normal) on a film with index of refraction 1.38 surrounded by vacuum. Calculate the minimum thickness for constructive interference of sodium light with a wavelength of 590 nm.

A tank of gasoline (n = 1.40) is open to the air (n = 1.00). A thick film of liquid floats on the gasoline and has a refractive index that is between 1.00 and 1.40. Light that has a wavelength of 634 nm (in vacuum) shines perpenducularly down through the air onlto this film, and this light looks bright due to constructive interference. The thickness of the film is 254 nm and is the minimum nonzero thickness for which constructive interference can occur. What is the refractive index of the film?
