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. In this problem one fringe shift is defined to mean from a bright pattern to the next dark pattern and not bright to dark and back again to a bright, which would be two fringe shifts. These fringe shifts occur because the wavelength of the light changes inside the gas filled tube. Assume that 609 nm light is used, the tube is 4.9 cm long, and that 324 fringe shifts occur as the pressure of the gas in the tube increases to atmospheric pressure. Calculate ngas, the index of refraction of

A250-n box is at rest on a frictionless horizotal floor. then a person shoves the box with a non-zero force of magnitude p. which statement best describes the relationship betweeen p and the motion of the box after it was shoved? -the box will not move when p< 250n but otherwise will accelerate at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p - the box will begin moving at a speed that is directly proportional to p, then will gradually slow to a halt -the box will move with constant velocity at a speed that is directly proportional to p -box will accelerate across the floor at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p
