A Michelson interferometer operating at a 400 nmnm wavelength has a 3.95-cmcm-long glass cell in one arm. To begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror M2M2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. Then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. The index of refraction of air at 1.00 atmatm pressure is 1.00028. How many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?

The horse latitudes-high-pressure zones about 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south of the equator.-warm air traveling away from the equator cools and sinks-weather tends to be clear and drythe doldrums-low-pressure near equator-air rises and spreads out toward the poles-rising moist air produces clouds and heavy rainthe westerlies-blow from the west-move from the horse latitudes toward the poles.-bring storms across much of the united statesthe tradewinds-blow from the east-move from the horse latitudes toward the equator  -strong, steady winds
