A composite light source is directed at a diffraction grating with a grating constant of 230 lines/mm. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen that is 1.11 m from the grating. If a 3rd order maxima is loacted at a distance of 0.520 m from the central maxima, what is the wavelangth of the associated light. Measure this wavelength in nanometers.

A 5.08-cm-long rectangular glass chamber is inserted into one arm of a Michelson interferometer using a 633-nm light source. This chamber is initially filled with air (n=1.000293) at standard atmospheric pressure but the air is gradually pumped out using a vacuum pump until a near perfect vacuum is achieved. How many fringes are observed moving by during the transition?
