A chamber 5.0 cm long with flat, parallel windows at the ends is placed in one arm of a Michelson interferometer (see below). Th

e light used has a wavelength of 500 nm in a vacuum. While all the air is being pumped out of the chamber, 29 fringes pass by a point on the observation screen. What is the refractive index of the air?

Answer:

1.00029

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance which travels through a medium and transfers energy without displacing the medium itself.

interference is one of the characteristics of a wave motion

The Michelson interferometer produces interference fringes by splitting a beam of monochromatic light so that one beam strikes a fixed mirror and the other a movable mirror. When the reflected beams are reflected, an interference pattern results.

∝Δm=Δud

∝=wavelength  500nm

Δm=number of fringes

d=length 9f the  Michelson interferometer chamber

Δu= change in refractive index

500*10^-9*29=0.05*Δu

Δu=0.00029

REFRACTIVE INDEX=1+0.00029

refractive index=

1.00029

Essay about why people should not join a gang 300 word​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

I don't know if it's fair for me to write an entire essay for you

but if you would like I can list some reasons you can incorporate into an essay.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-If you are joining a gang you are most likely going to have a greater chance of being targeted, even if it seems like you would be protected.

-Most of the time when someone joins a gang a child is being separated from a parent and will face most aggression.

-This can also cause academic failure in students, from lack of education and probably a pretty bad background.

-For teens when joining a gang they will do things that aren't suited for their age (I would list things but I'm not trying to get myself reported if you know what I mean)

-You will also have a great risk of being imprisoned and facing bad consequences, and these consequences can even be having the death penalty.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this is good enough, sorry I didn't give you a full essay. I think this should help with that though.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The conduction path or simply the wires connected between different components in a circuit.

Explanation:

The wire makes up the path for the electricity to flow and most of the electricity flows through this. It is like a road connecting two house or buildings in a town and the traffic of vehicles is the electricity (current).

What type of motion does the galaxy go through
Mariana [72]

Well, it depends. Your latitude on Earth--that is, how close you are to the equator--and the time of year make a difference. I'll explain why. Your motion is made up of four pieces: the rotation of the Earth on its axis, the motion of the Earth around the Sun, the Sun's orbit about the center of the galaxy, and the motion of the whole galaxy.

Sarah, whose mass is 40 kg, is on her way to school after a winter storm when she accidentally slips on a patch of ice whose coe
RideAnS [48]

Sarah's acceleration is -0.49 m/s^2

Explanation:

The force of kinetic friction acting on Sarah has a magnitude which is given by:

F_f = \mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction

m is Sarah's mass

g is the acceleration of gravity

Moreover, according to Newton's second law of motion, we know that the net force on Sarah is equal to its mass times its acceleration:

F=ma

where a is the acceleration

Since the force of friction is the only force acting on Sarah, we can say that the net force is equal to the force of friction, therefore:

F=-\mu mg = ma

where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction has a direction opposite to the motion of Sarah. Solving for a, we find

a=-\mu g

And substituting the following values:

\mu = 0.05 (coefficient of friction)

g=9.81 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

we find:

a=-(0.05)(9.81)=-0.49 m/s^2
