Consider a Michelson interferometer as shown in the figure below. When the wavelength of the laser light source is switched from 400 nanometer to 500 nanometer, it is observed that the intensity measured at the output port P goes from a minimum to maximum. This observation is possible when the smallest path difference between the two arms of the interferometer is $\_\_\_\_\_$ nanometer.
