Summary
Description Michelson interferometer fringe formation.svg |
English:
Formation of fringes in a
Michelson interferometer
. (a) If mirror M
1
and the reflected image M'
2
are parallel but separated by a finite distance, the two reflected sources S'
1
and S'
2
will be centered on the normal to the mirrors, and the interference fringes will be circles. (b) If M
1
and M'
2
are angled with respect to each other, S'
1
and S'
2
will be separated from each other. The interference fringes in general will be hyperbolas, but if M
1
and M'
2
overlap, the fringes near the axis will be perceived as a set of equally spaced straight lines. If S is an extended source rather than a point source as illustrated, the fringes of (a) must be observed with a telescope set at infinity, while the fringes of (b) will be localized on the mirrors.
