Experiment 4 The Michelson Interferometer1 Experiment 4 The MichelsonInterferometer1 IntroductionThere are, in general, a number of types of optical instruments thatproduce optical interference. These instruments are grouped under thegeneric name of interferometers. The Michelson Interferometer causesinterference by splitting a beam of light into two parts. Each part ismade to travel a different path and brought back together where theyinterfere according to their path length will use the Michelson Interferometer to observe the interferenceof two light sources: a HeNe laser and a sodium lamp.
from a light source is split into two parts. One part of the light travels a different path length than the other. After traversing these different ... measure the tidal effect of the moon on the earth and to provide a substitute standard for the meter in terms of wavelengths of light.
