After an eye examination, you put some eyedrops on your sensitive eyes. The cornea (the front part of the eye) has an index of refraction of 1.38, while the eyedrops have a refractive index of 1.45. After you put in the drops, your friends notice that your eyes look red, because red light of wavelength 600 nm has been reinforced in the reflected light.
(a) What is the minimum thickness of the film of eyedrops on your cornea?
(b) Will any other wavelengths of visible light be reinforced in the reflected light considering minimum thickness calculated in part (a)? Will any be cancelled? Show your calculations (The wave length of violet light is 400 nm).
