The Michelson interferometer can be used to measure the index of refraction of a gas by placing an evacuated transparent tube in the light path along one arm of the device. Fringe shifts occur as the
gas is slowly added to the tube. Assume 580-nm light is used, the tube is 5.40 cm long, and 152 fringe shifts occur as the pressure of the gas in the tube increases to atmospheric pressure. What is
the index of refraction of the gas? Hint: The fringe shifts occur because the wavelength of the light changes inside the gas-filled tube. (Give your answer to five decimal places.)

A thin sheet of transparent material has an index of refraction
of 1.40 and is 15.0 µm thick. When it is inserted in the light
path along one arm of an interferometer, how many fringe
shifts occur in the pattern? Assume the wavelength (in a vac-
uum) of the light used is 600 nm. Hint: The wavelength will
change within the material.
