mu_o = 1.658; // Refractive index of ordinary wave
mu_e = 1.486; // Refractive index of extraordinary wave
lambda = 5893e-008; // Wavelength of light used, m
// As (mu_o - mu_e)*t = lambda/4, solving for t
t = lambda/(4*(mu_o - mu_e)); // Thickness of quarter-wave plate, cm
printf("\nThe thickness of quarter-wave plate = %3.1e cm", t);
// Result
// The thickness of quarter-wave plate = 8.6e-005 cm
