A thin glass plate (n=1.56) rests on a small pool of water (n=1.333). Light is incident from air onto the surface of the glass plate. Red light of wavelength 680nm (in air) is observed to be most strongly reflected from the glass. What are the three thinnest possible thicknesses of the glass plate?
