Description:
Michaelson Interferometer
Specification:
Michaelson Interferometer -This new twist on the Michelson-Morley device measures the small
differences in time needed for two separate light beams to travel two
different paths. An interference pattern is produced by splitting a beam
of light into two paths, bouncing the beams back and recombining them.
The different paths may be of different lengths or composed of different
materials to create alternating interference fringes on a screen.
Positioning the magnetic optical components on our metal base is easy
and accurate. The distance can be adjusted without a ruler as the base
contains a permanent grid at a 45° angle. Unlike other models, we
include all parts needed to measure the coefficient of linear expansion
of a metal. Includes: red laser pointer; metal base with scale; optical
components with magnets; 3 rods: brass, aluminum, steel; and our special
diffraction grating which separates light into two points.
