Week 03-04: Measurement of Wavelength of Mercury Light using Michelson Interferometer.

 

Aims of the Experiment:

  • To study the capabilities and uses of the Michelson Interferometer.

  • Accurate measurements of small change in length.

  • To study the Fringe Patterns.

  • To use the interferometer to measure the wavelength of Mercury light.

  • An accurate comparison of wavelength.

 

Prerequisites:

  • Waves and Oscillations
