Question: Reflection by thin layers. In the figure, light is incident perpendicularly on a thin layer of material 2 that lies between ( thicker ) materials

Reflection by thin layers. In the figure, light is incident perpendicularly on a thin layer of material 2 that lies between (thicker) materials 1 and 3.(The rays are tilted only for clarity.) The waves of rays r1 and r2 interfere, and here we consider the type of interference to be either maximum ( max ) or minimum (min). The table below provides the indexes of refraction n1,n2, and n3, the type of interference, and the thinlayer thickness L in nanometers. Give the wavelength that is in the visible range.
