Answer #1

In case, the path lengths of A and B are different the light waves will be at different phases when they are recombined. The addition of these two waves will give an interference pattern (fringes) dependent on the difference in path lengths. In the Michelson Interferometer the only path length that may be varied is that associated with path B.
