Two waves of light in air have the same wavelength and are intially in phase. They then travel through plastic layers with thickness of L_(1) = 3.5 mm and L_(2) = 5.0 mm and indices of refraction n_(1) = 1.7 and n_(2) = 1.25 as shown in figure. The rays later arrive at a common point. The longest wavelength of light for which constructive interference occurs at the point is
