Michelson interferometer

“No man can paddle two canoes at the same time”. In other words this means no person can do everything by yourself. This helps the society today because people need more than just one person to make educatio for everyone. People in construction can not build a everything with just one person. In this paper “No man can paddle to canoes at the same time” explains why just one person can not do everything. Albert Einstein could not invented everything with just him he had to have help. Michelson and Morley helped Einstein with the inventions. “Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley developed an instrument that made for more precise measurements than earlier devices” (trefil). Albert Einstein can not done everything he did without these two inventors first. Enstine needs help and can't do everything by himself. “Albert A. Michelson helped him Albert Einstein in some of his inventions” (trefil). Einstein lived b this because it wasn't just…

test. Interferometers are used to make very small measurements that cannot be achieved with any other method. An important application of interferometry is in the Laser Interferometer Gravitation wave Observatory(LIGO) which is used to detect gravitational waves predicted by Einstein.1.1 The LIGO interferometer is like the Michelson Interferometer as shown in…

However, this same percentage in the 2-meter stick will be twice as much as the stretch of the meter stick. Thus for the detection of gravitational waves, longer arms allow for more sensitive interferometers. There are other factors that could cause the arm lengths to fluctuate or appear to fluctuate, such as, thermal expansion, a non-stable laser source, or a poor vacuum. Anything that interferes with the detection of a gravitational waves signal is referred to as noise. If the laser…

human health as they may have relation to cancer prevention. 2. Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR is a method which is used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption, emission, photoconductivity of a solid, liquid or gas. The main use of this method is in organic and inorganic substances. It is also used to determine functional group in molecules. The basic components of an FTIR spectrometer are shown below: Figure 2: Basic components of an FTIR. (Source: Stuart,…

as French experimenters began to develop new ways to measure the speed of light. In 1849 Armand Fizeau (1819-96) calculated the speed of light to be 194,000 mi/sec by using a rapidly rotating toothed wheel with 720 teeth where light produced by a lamp passed through. Other investigators such as Jean Foucault (1819-68) and Cornu(1841-1902) used modified methods of Fizeau’s experiment by either using rotating mirrors or a rotating stroboscope to measure the speed of light. American physicist…
