The index of refraction of a glass rod is 1.48 at
T = 20.0°C and varies linearly with temperature,
with a coefficient of 2.50 x 10-5C⁰-1. The
coefficient of linear expansion of the glass is
5.00 x 10-6C⁰-1. At 20.0 °C the length of the rod is
2.80 cm. A Michelson interferometer has this glass
rod in one arm, and the rod is being heated so that its
temperature increases at a rate of 5.00 C°/min. The
light source has wavelength λ = 569 nm, and the rod
initially is at T = 20.0°C.
