0.3.6 Michelson Interferometer A
small interferometer can be demonstrated in class. This is useful when
discussing relativity besides the optics application. The fringe pattern can be
projected onto the overhead screen, and you can measure the wavelength of the
laser light by advancing one of the mirrors with a micrometer screw and counting
fringes. |
