+\begin{document}
+
+\chapter*{Optical Interferometry - Pre-lab exercise}
+
+
+\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 $n_{STP}=1.000293$.
+
+\section*{2. Error propagation}
+Derive the expressions for the uncertainty of the wavelength measurements, given by Eq.(4) and for the individual refractive index measurements, given by Eq.(5).
+Discuss the strategy of reducing these uncertainty (assuming that you cannot upgrade the equipment).
