For the refractive index 3/2 mica intoduced,
the path difference becomes,
n*lamda = (u-1)*t
n*lamda = (3/2 – 1)*t
t = 2*n*lamda’
 Now ntensity is inversely proportional to the wavelength.
To reduce the intesity to the half, i.e. for
I = 1/lamda
I/2 = 1/lamda’
lamda’ /lamda = 2
or
lamda’ = lamda/2
 
The wavelngth should become twice of the initial value.
t = lamda/2 would be the thikness for n=1.
