A glass sheet is covered by a very thin opaque coating. In the middle of this sheet there is a thin scratch 0.00125 mm thick. The sheet is totally immersed beneath the surface of a liquid. Parallel rays of monochromatic coherent light with wavelength 612 nm in air strike the sheet perpendicular to its surface and pass through the scratch. A screen is placed in the liquid a distance of 30.0 cm away from the sheet and parallel to it. You observe that the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe on the screen are 22.4 cm apart. What is the refractive index of the liquid?
One way to determine the index of refraction of a gas is to use an interferometer. As shown below, one of the beams of an interferometer passes through a glass container that has a length of L = 1.8 cm. Initially the glass container is a vacuum. When gas is slowly allowed into the container, a total of 6894 dark fringes move past the reference line. The laser has a wavelength of 635 nm (this is the wavelength when the light from the laser is moving through a vacuum). A.) Determine how many wavelengths will fit into the glass container when it is a vacuum. Since the light passes through the container twice, you need to determine how many wavelengths will fit into a glass container that has a length of 2L.number of wavelengths (vacuum) = B.) The number of dark fringes is the difference between the number of wavelengths that fit in the container (length of 2L) when it has gas and the number of wavelengths that fit in the container (length of 2L) when it is a vacuum. Use this knowledge to…
