μ =1.33, n=1, λ = 6 × 10$^{-7}$ m, thickness t= ?, i= 30

$ μ= \frac{sin \ i}{sin \ r} \\[2ex] sin \ r = \frac{sin \ 30}{1.43} $

sin r = 0.34

Therefore r=20.46

cos r = 0.936

For dark bands 2μ t cos r = nλ

Thickness $t = \frac{nλ}{ 2μ \ cos \ r}$

Therefore $t = \frac{1 \times 6 \times 10^{-7} }{ 2\times1.43 \times0.936}$

Thickness = 2247 AU
