A132 g piece of nickel is heated to 100.0 °c in a boiling water bath and then dropped into a beaker containing 877 g of water (density = 1.00 g/cm3) at 5.0 °c. what was the final temperature of the nickel and water after thermal equilibrium was reached

Amichelson interferometer operating at a 600 nm wavelength has a 3.02-cm-long glass cell in one arm. to begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror m2 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 atm pressure is 1.00028.how many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?
