Solar cells are given antireflection coatings to maximize their
efficiency. Consider a silicon solar
cell (n=3.50n=3.50) coated with a layer of silicon
dioxide (n=1.45n=1.45).
A.
What is the minimum coating thickness (but not zero) that will
minimize the reflection at the wavelength of
695 nmnm where solar cells are most efficient?
Express your answer in nanometers.
