2. Placed along one arm of an interferometer is transparent cylinder with length 5.0 cm containing a sample of gas. The interference pattern created contains a series of vertical lines. As a vacuum slowly draws all the gas from the cylinder the interference pattern shifts by 130 lines. Ģven that the wavelength of the laser is 600 nm, what is the index of refraction of the gas? (Answer 1.0026)

    In one arm of a Michelson interferometer, a flame is placed below one of the arms which heats the air and changes its index of refraction. As the air heats up, 5 interference fringes (m = 5) are observed while using a laser of wavelength 650 nm. If the index of refraction of room temperature air is 1.00029, what is the index of refraction of hot air? Assume the flame diameter is 3 mm.

    An evacuated cell of length 10 cm is placed in one arm of a Michelson interferometer using a 589-nm light source. When methane gas is allowed to enter the cell, the interference pattern is observed to shift 75 fringes as the pressure increases to atmospheric value. Calculate the index of refraction of methane. If we remove the evacuated cell then, a shift of 50 fringes will correspond to displacing the movable mirror of the interferometer by what distance?

    Problem 22.65 Constants I Periodic Table Part A A Michelson interferometer operating at a 600 nm wavelength has a 3.92-cm-long glass cell in one arm. To begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror M2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference patten. Then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. The index of refraction of air at 1.00 atm pressure is 1.00028. How many bright-dark-bright...

    Please show all work 6. To test some of the principles of physics a team of scuba divers sets up a double slit experiment under water in a swimming pool. Red light is emitted by a laser (kept out of the water), and has a wavelength of 632.8 nm in air. The laser beam is directed by mirrors to a double slit located near the bottom of the pool. Just before the light strikes the double slit it is traveling...
