A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water


A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different rainbow colors reflecting off the surface. She aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nanometer in air. The index of refraction of water is 1.33.

The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. Compute the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot?
