My error was forgetting that wavelengths have DIFFERENT LENGTHS IN DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND I DIDNT EVEN FACTOR THAT INTO the equation, so I was missing lambda (in material) = lambda/n.

Problem: Consider a 360-nm thick oil film floating on the surface of the water. The indices of refraction of the oil and water are 1.5 and 1.33. The surface of the oil is illuminated from above at normal incidence with white light. (A) Find the shortest wavelength of light in the 400nm to 800 nm...
