\chapter*{Optical Interferometry - Pre-lab exercise}
-You can use the lab report template to prepare the submission of the pre-lab exercises. In fact, they will be a part of your final report.
+You can use the lab report template to prepare the submission of the pre-lab exercises. Feel free to use calculations or graphs in your final report, but you don't need to include prelab with the report.
\section*{1. Theoretical graph}
- Plot the theoretical dependence of the air refractive index on the pressure. Assume that in vacuum $n=1$, and at one atmosphere $p_0=76$~cm Hg it is $n_{STP}=1.000293$.
+ Plot the theoretical dependence of the air refractive index on the pressure. Assume that in vacuum $n=1$, and at one atmosphere $p_0=76$~cm Hg it is $n_{STP}=1.000293$. Calculate the slope of this line $dn/dp$.
\section*{2. Error propagation}
Find the expressions for the uncertainty of the wavelength measurements, given by Eq.(4) and for the individual refractive index measurements, given by Eq.(5).
