Question:

Solar cells are given antireflection coatings to maximize their efficiency. Consider a silicon solar cell \((n=3.50)\) coated with a layer of silicon dioxide \((n=1.45)\). What is the minimum coating thickness that will minimize the reflection at the wavelength of \(700 \mathrm{~nm}\), where solar cells are most efficient?
