Description
Michelson interferometer is a common two beam interface optical interferometer. The incident beam is split into two equal intensity beams by using beam splitter. One beam is moves towards Mirror M1 and other towards M2; after reflection from both mirrors beams superimpose at beam splitter and interference pattern can be observed on screen.
Experiment Performed
- To determine wavelength of laser light.
- To find refractive index of a transparent plate.
- To study refractive index change in air under different pressures and determination of refractive index of air.
Feature
- Precision kinematic mounts for optical components
- Optics used for design have very good surface quality
- Assembly of setup is very easy
