To ensure almost $100$ per cent transmittivity,photographic lenses are often coated with a thin layer of dielectric material. The refractive index of this material is intermediate between that of air and glass (which makes the optical element of the lens). $A$ typically used dielectric film is $MgF_2$ $(n = 1.38)$. What should the thickness of the film be so that at the center of the visible spectrum $5500 \, \mathring{A}$ there is maximum transmission?

Assertion: At the first glance,the top surface of the Morpho butterfly's wing appears a beautiful blue-green. If the wind moves the colour changes.
Reason: Different pigments in the wing reflect light at different angles.
