An important experimental device that uses interference is the Michelson interferometer. Michelson interferometers are used to make precise measurements of wavelengths and of very small distances. A Michelson interferometer takes monochromatic light from a single source and divides it into two waves that follow different paths. Interference occurs when the two light waves are recombined. The figure below shows the principal components of a Michelson interferometer. A ray of light from a monochromatic source A strikes the beam splitter C,...
