Problem

A piece of crown glass (n=1.50n=1.50) is to be coated on one side with a single layer of magnesium fluoride (n=1.38n=1.38) so that reflected light of wavelength λ0=550 nm\lambda_{0}=550\,\text{nm} in air is minimized at normal incidence. Calculate the required physical thickness tt of the magnesium-fluoride layer.
