To solve the problem, we need to calculate the smallest thickness of a thin glass plate that will make it appear dark by reflection when light of wavelength 6000 Å (angstroms) is incident on it at an angle of refraction of 60°. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert Wavelength to Meters**: The given wavelength of light is 6000 Å. We need to convert this into meters. \[ \lambda = 6000 \, \text{Å} = 6000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} = 6 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} ...
