A glass lens that has an index of refraction equal to 1.57 is coated with a thin layer of transparent material that has an index of refraction equal to 2.10. If white light strikes the lens at near-normal incidence, light of wavelengths 495 nm in air and 660 nm in air are absent from the reflected light. What is the thinnest possible layer of material for which this can be accomplished?
