Problem

A certain region of a soap bubble reflects red light of vacuum wavelength λ=650 nm\lambda=650\,\text{nm}. What is the minimum thickness that this region of the soap bubble could have? Take the refractive index of the soap film to be 1.411.41. (1) 1.2×10−7 m1.2\times10^{-7}\,\text{m} (2) 650×10−9 m650\times10^{-9}\,\text{m} (3) 120×107 m120\times10^7\,\text{m} (4) 650×105 m650\times10^5\,\text{m}
