INVESTIGATE THE DEPENDENCE OF THE LIGHT REFRACTIVE INDEX OF AN IDEAL GAS ON ITS PRESSURE USING INTERFEROMETERS

This article analyzes the working principle of the Michelson interferometer and the ability to measure some physical quantities. Using the Michelson Interferometer, the ability to detect not only the light wave but also the full wavelength of radio waves was analyzed. Using the Mach-Zehnder and Michelson interferometers, it was determined that the refractive index of air depends on its pressure. The results obtained in two different interferometers were compared comparatively in the graphs.
