Wedge at normal incidence


A wedge of glass increases in thickness with an angle of 2 mrad. Green light (wavelength 530 nm) illuminates the upper surface of the wedge at normal incidence. Approximately how far from the edge of the wedge (where it tapers to zero thickness) does the first maximum in the reflected light occur? Assume that the wedge is surrounded by air, and that the index of refraction of the glass is n=1.5.
