A Michelson interferometer operating at a 400 nm wavelength has a 3.95-cm-long glass cell in one arm. To begin, the air is pumpe

d out of the cell and mirror M2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. Then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. The index of refraction of air at 1.00 atmatm pressure is 1.00028.
Required:
How many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?

Answer:

55.3

Explanation:

The computation of the number of bright-dark-bright fringe shifts observed is shown below:

\triangle m = \frac{2d}{\lambda} (n - 1)

where

d = 3.95 \times 10^{-2}m

\lambda = 400 \times 10^{-9}m

n = 1.00028

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the  number of bright-dark-bright fringe shifts observed is

=  \frac{2 \times3.95 \times 10^{-2}m}{400 \times 10^{-9}m} (1.00028 - 1)

= 55.3

We simply applied the above formula so that the number of bright dark bright fringe shifts could come

The fulcrum is between the effort and the load
Inessa05 [86]

Class 1 lever

Explanation:

In a class 1 lever, the fulcrum is placed between the effort and the load. This lever systems is the most common.

  • The effort is the force input and the load is the force output
  • The fulcrum is a hinge between the load and effort.
  • Movement of the effort and load are in opposite directions.
  • There are other classes of lever like the class 2 and 3.
  • They all have different load, fulcrum and effort configurations
