The movable mirror of a Michelson interferometer is attached to one end of a thin metal rod of length 23.3 mm. The other end of the rod is anchored so it does not move. As the temperature of the rod changes from 15°C to 25 C , a change of 14 fringes is observed. The light source is a He Ne laser, =632.8 nm . What is the change in length of the metal bar, and what is its thermal expansion coefficient?

Unreasonable Results To save money on making military aircraft invisible to radar, an inventor decides to coat them with a non-reflective material having an index of refraction of 1.20, which is between that of air and the surface of the plane.

(b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
The explanation given in your textbook for the color of the setting Sun should apply equally well to the rising Sun, since sunlight travels the same distance through the atmosphere to reach your eyes at either sunrise or sunset. Typically, however, sunsets are redder than sunrises. Why? (Hint: Particles of all kinds in the atmosphere contribute to scattering.)

Physics Many nocturnal animals demonstrate the phenomenon of eyeshine, in which their eyes glow various colors at night when illuminated by a flashlight or the headlights of a car (see the photo). Their eyes react this way because of a thin layer of reflective tissue called the tapetum lucidum that is located directly behind the retina. This tissue reflects the light back through the retina, which increases the available light that can activate photoreceptors, and thus improve the animal’s vision in low-light conditions. If we assume the tapetum lucidum acts like a concave spherical mirror with a radius of curvature of 0.750 cm, how far in front of the tapetum lucidum would an image form of an object located 30.0 cm away? Neglect the effects of the other structures of the eye, such as the cornea and lens.
An American standard analog television picture (non-HDTV), also known as NTSC, is composed of approximately 485 visible horizontal lines of varying light intensity. Assume your ability to resolve the lines is limited only by the Rayleigh criterion, the pupils of your eyes are 5.00 min in diameter, and the average wavelength of the light coming from the screen is 550. nm. Calculate the ratio of the minimum viewing distance to the vertical dimension of the picture such that you will not be able to resolve the lines.
