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

Answer: 1.176×10^-3 s

Explanation: The time constant formulae for an RC circuit is given below as

t =RC

Where t = time constant , R = magnitude of resistance = 21 ohms , C = capacitance of capacitor = 56 uf = 56×10^-6 F

t = 56×10^-6 × 21

t = 1176×10^-6

t = 1.176×10^-3 s

Murrr4er [49]
True.

A contact force is a force between two objects that are physically in contact with each other: an example of a contact force is the normal reaction of a table supporting a book.

A non-contact force is a force between two objects that are not physically in contact with each other: an example of non-contact force is the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Moon.
