A hair is placed at one edge between two flat glass plates. When this arrangement is illuminated with yellow light of wavelength (l = 600 nm), a total of 61 dark bands are counted starting at the point of contact between the plates. How thick is the hair? (1 nm = 10-9 m) Note that a dark band occurs where the plates contact
