Principle

In the Michelson arrangement interference will occur by the use of 2 mirrors. The wavelength is determined by displacing one mirror using the micrometer screw.

Benefits

  • Discover the essence of the Physics Nobel Prize of 1907
  • Lead to experimental findings that only special relativity theory could explain
  • Pre-setup of the critical components makes for short preparation time
  • Digital data aquisition

Tasks

Determination of the wavelength of the light of the used laser.

Learning objectives

  • Interference
  • Wavelength
  • Refractive index
  • Velocity of light
  • Phase
  • Virtual light source
