Answer:

Minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Explanation:

We have given refractive index is n = 1.5

Wavelength of the light incidence \lambda= 600 nm

We have to find the smallest thickness of the film so that there will be minimum light reflect

For minimum thickness of non reflecting film

t=\frac{\lambda }{4n} , here t is thickness, \lambda is wavelength and n is refractive index

Putting all values t=\frac{600}{4\times 1.5}=100nm

So minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Which wavelength of light is capable of penetrating the dust of a nebula?
ivann1987 [24]
When the dust is too thick to penetrate with visible light, such as the Nebula, Radio Waves are used to penetrate the dust. Longer radio waves can completely penetrate the thick cloud cover, allowing scientists to beam radar waves.

How the behavior of waves is affected by a medium
Schach [20]
The medium determines the speed of the wave traveling in it, which also can have a number of other effects, including how much the wave bends (refracts), whether it reflects, etc.
Because waves move through space, they must have a velocity. The velocity of a wave is a function of the type of wave, and the medium it travels through. Electromagnetic waves moving through a vacuum, for instance, travel at roughly 3 x
