A glass pane with index of refraction 1.5 is coated with a thin film of a material with index of refraction 1.6. The coating is as thin as possible to produce maximum reflection for blue light. If this same material is used to coat a different kind of glass with index of refraction 1.9, the light reflected from the back surface of the film now experiences an inversion. Does the coating have to be thicker or thinner in this case to produce strong reflection? Explain.
