Problem

A 500  nm500\;\text{nm}-thick oil film (n=1.40n=1.40) floats on water and is viewed in reflected light at normal incidence from above. Within the visible wavelength range 450  nm≤λ≤650  nm450\;\text{nm}\le \lambda \le 650\;\text{nm}, how many distinct wavelengths will produce a dark reflected fringe? Give the number of such wavelengths.
