Michelson interferometer

Article no: P2220502

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
