PHYS 260 Problem Set 1 . 1. In one arm of a Michelson interferometer there is placed a closed tube of length 0.2 m with ‘transparent end pieces through which the light passes freely. A fringe pattern is observed using light of wavelength 5.9 x 10-7 m, and then the air is evacuated out of the tube. By how many ~y fringes will the fringe pattern shift? The speed of light in air is (1— 2.9 x 10-)o. Wham the firbs és fleck with aur te tansch ms. fy Agld + gp bo ume tHarngl ob es | i. > Cher Gr nari!)

The analysis of the Michelson-Morley experiment is normally done for the case where one arm is. parallel to the ether wind and one arm is perpendicular to it. Consider the more general case where one arm is at an angle of # with respect to the wind. (The two arms are still perpendicular to each other.)
