Problem

A polymer film of thickness 250 nm250\,\text{nm} and refractive index n=1.30n=1.30 is deposited on glass (n=1.50n=1.50). For light of wavelength 550 nm550\,\text{nm} in air, determine the angle of incidence in air (measured from the normal) at which first-order constructive interference occurs in the reflected light.
