A glass plate (n=1.60) is covered with a thin, uniform layer of oil (n=1.16).A light beam of variable wavelength from air is incident normally on the oil surface. Observation of the reflected beam shows destructive interference at 450.0 nm and constructive interference at 675.0 nm. From this information, calculate the thickness of the oil film.
