A flat piece of glass is held stationary and horizontal above the highly polished, flat top end of a 10.0-cm-long vertical metal rod that has its lower end rigidly fixed. The thin film of air between the rod and glass is observed to be bright by reflected light when it is illuminated by light of wavelength 500 nm. As the temperature is slowly increased by 25.0°C, the film changes from bright to dark and back to bright 200 times. What is the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal?
A thin film of oil (no=1.50) with varying thickness floats on water (nw=1.33). When it is illuminated from above by white light, the reflected colors are as shown in the figure. In air, the wavelength of yellow light is 580nm. What is the oil's thickness t at point B?

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.
