Problem

A possible means for making an airplane invisible to radar is to coat the plane with an anti-reflective polymer. If radar waves have a wavelength of 3.00 cm3.00\ \text{cm} and the refractive index of the polymer is μ=1.5\mu=1.5, how thick should the polymer film be? The refractive index of the material of the airplane wings is greater than that of the polymer.
