For the answer to the question above,
we can get the number of fringes by dividing (delta t) by the period of the light (Which is λ/c).
fringe = (delta t) / (λ/c)
We can find (delta t) with the equation:
delta t = [v^2(L1+L2)]/c^3
Derivation of this formula can be found in your physics text book. From here we find (delta t):
600,000^2 x (11+11) / [(3x10^8)^3] = 2.93x10^-13
2.93x10^-13/ (589x10^-9 / 3x10^8) = 149 fringes
This answer is correct but may seem large. That is because of your point of reference with the ether which is usually at rest with respect to the sun, making v = 3km/s.
True.
Density = mass / volume, Unit = g / cm³.
This is a common unit because of its affiliation with the SI unit and because that also our popular liquid which is water = 1 g/cm³
Mass.
Because mass doesn't depend on weight but weight depends on mass.
