50. A thin film with index of refraction n1\mathrm{n}_{1} separates two materials, each of which has an index of refraction less than nf\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{f}}. A monochromatic beam of light is incident normally on the film, as shown above. If the light has wavelength λ\lambda within the film, maximum constructive interference between the incident beam and the reflected beam occurs for which of the following film thicknesses? (A) 2λ2 \lambda (B) λ\lambda (C) λ/2\lambda / 2 (D) λ/4\lambda / 4 ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/question-bank/question-images/be45c75c9dbf/2025_11_20_b4c87f8716f7c4a9fa5bg-08.jpg)
