A Michelson Interferometer using a laser source of wavelength λ₀ = 500 nm, with both the mirrors (M₁ & M₂) fixed and positioned equidistant from the splitter/combiner is shown in the figure. When a dielectric plate of refractive index n = 1.5, of thickness t, is placed in front of the mirror M₂, a dark fringe is observed on the detector. If the dielectric plate is removed without changing the position of the mirrors M₁ & M₂, a bright fringe is observed on the detector. The minimum thickness t (in nm) of the dielectric is _______.
