Light wavelegth strikes a pane of glass of thickness T and refractive index N, as showin in the figure. Part of the beam is reflected off the uppers surface of the glass, and part is transmitted and then reflected off the lower surface of the glass

T=Wavelthgn/2
2T=Wavelentgh/2
T=Wavelenth/2N
2T=wavelength/2N
T = wavelength/(2n)
The reason: The top reflection produces a phase reversal since n(air) < n(glass). The bottom reflection does not produce a phase reversal since n(glass) > n(air). Thus the extra path length 2T must provide a 1-wavelength, or lambda(glass), phase shift for destructive interference with the 1/2-wavelength shift of the top reflection. Lambda(glass) = lambda(air)/n.
Thus 2T = lambda(glass) = lambda(air)/n = lambda/n, so T = wavelength/(2n)

In your research lab, a very thin, flat piece of glass with refractive index 2.40 and uniform thickness covers the opening of a chamber that holds a gas sample. The refractive indexes of the gases on either side of the glass are very close to unity. To determine the thickness of the glass, you shine coherent light of wavelength λ0 in vacuum at normal incidence onto the surface of the glass. When λ0= 496 nm, constructive interference occurs for light...
