AI Generated Solution

To determine which wavelengths in the visible region (400 nm to 700 nm) are strongly transmitted by a very thin glass plate of thickness 1 µm and refractive index 1.5, we will apply the condition for constructive interference in thin films. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Thickness of the glass plate, \( t = 1 \, \mu m = 1 \times 10^{-6} \, m \) - Refractive index of the glass, \( \mu = 1.5 \) - Wavelength range of visible light, \( \lambda = 400 \, nm \) to \( 700 \, nm \) ...
