  • In this setup, an interferometer is used to measure the wavelength of laser light. The incident beam is split into two paths, recombined, and projected on a screen. When one of the path lengths is varied, the interference pattern on the screen changes. By measuring the distance that a path length must be changed in order to achieve the original interference pattern, one can determine the wavelength of the incident light.

    If the laser beam light can be split in faze and antifaze path and destroed at recombination, where is disapearing the fotons energy. Can be the conservation of energy low broken by interferometery. Please, I need a qualified explanation.

    • @miguelnyberg2684
      @miguelnyberg2684 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      All the energy that "should" be manifested in the dark fringes is shifted into the light fringes where you have constructive interference, these fringes have double the energy they "should" have

    • @hintzofcolorconcepts
      @hintzofcolorconcepts 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      but there aren't light and dark fringes on a polarized coherent beam when all the photons perfectly cancel each other out through interferometry.

    • @gauravjoshi2909
      @gauravjoshi2909 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Conservation of energy cannot be violated the enegies get redistributed
      And if taking at the junction of splitting by the lense some energy gets converted into heat(i guess)

    • @safaltagupta9364
      @safaltagupta9364 28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That is interference taking place it's a phenomenon where two coherent light sources having a constant phase difference or they can be in same phase either, superpose and this pattern is obtained in case of Newton's Ring Experiment, Michelson Interferometer etc these are obtained as rings while in Young's Double Slit Experiment these appears as fringes or bands

    Wow! From minute 1:36 We can detect the "eather wind" on the mirror or the mirror motion respect to the medium.
    A change of distance make changes on interference fringes, not an hypothetical eather wind. So We don't detect earth's motion respect the médium, because there's no earth's motion. So the earth is MOTIONLESS.

    • @MotherlyPhoenix
      @MotherlyPhoenix 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I came here hoping to find an explanation to your exact question. No one explains why the pattern occurs like it does, just that there is an interference pattern. I want to know what is causing the pattern. My assumption is transverse phase variance, but I'd like some confirmation.

  • @oxtoolco
    @oxtoolco 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    That sure looks like an inch division micrometer (1:24) at .025 inches per rev. What you are calling 6.5 microns (1:58) would appear to be .0065 inches. Metric micrometers are graduated 50 divisions and 1/2 mm per rev. So either your movement of the mirror is not linear or there is some funny business going on here. Please explain the adjustable mirror setup in more detail if you can. Does the back of the case come off to see the mechanism?

      That is certainly an inch division micrometer, although it seems to me that they have converted units here. Additionally there is definitely some zero error on the apparatus as can be seen when they start counting the cycles.

    • @forestfishburne7900

      He definitely measured .0750” to .0815”, multiplied by 2(half wavelength), and then divided by 20 to get 0.65 microns(red). MIT education ain’t what it used to be. Maybe use some of that tuition money to buy digital micrometers.

      +ountalaga Enough to have the micrometer dial move enough to take down a measurement. If you only count 3 fringes, the micrometer may look like it barely moved. This video did it for 20 fringes, but I've seen as much as counting 100 fringes.

    You may have taken for granted the knowledge that light travels in waves, because you have grown up with it. This experiment proves by observation that light does travel in waves and it is possible to measure the velocity (direction and speed) of those waves. The change in scientific thought when this experiment was first studied required many concepts that can't be observed, such as the vague and "far out" concepts of ether, waves and interference.

    But where does the energy go when photons cause destructive interference? if a coherent polarized beam is split in half and perfectly combined with it's self 180 degrees out of phase, the light would no longer be visible, so where would the energy have gone to?

    • @TheShaolinShen
      @TheShaolinShen 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      When you expect destructive interference at the viewing screen then you expect a constructively interfering wave being directed back at the source. There is no issue with energy conservation when you account for the fact that some light is being directed at the screen and some sent back to the source.

    @1234ToddgMr 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Something weird happens when it passes through the d1 = d2 point. The light will blackout and the micrometer movement becomes less effective in moving the fringes. His experiment does not show passing through the equal point.

  • @saadibnasaadhusain
    @saadibnasaadhusain 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great demo but you left out the most important part - rotating the whole apparatus to demonstrate that there are no fringe shifts and hence the speed of light is constant.

    • @BlueCosmology
      @BlueCosmology 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      sa'ad ibn Asaad Husain That certainly isn't the most important part. Michelson interferometers have been, and still are, used for a huge number of applications. That used to be a hugely important part of michelson interferometers, it no longer is as much better ways of measuring the speed of light are possible. Whereas there are still hugely important applications of Michelson's.

    • @timetraveler5128
      @timetraveler5128 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The path taken by the ray is twice the distance between the mirror and the beam splitter. So, if you move by 1/2 wavelength, then there will be a 1 wavelength phase shift.

  • @PureSarrows
    @PureSarrows 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These Ideas consequently lead to the theory of relativity, because the speed of light measured on one planet was different when measured on earth, hence light is relative to the objects moving around it. Basically, before this experiment challenged common sense, science was considered to be observable. Someone correct me if I got it wrong.

    @vahagnmelikyan2906 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think the phase will not change. Because assuming it was passing through the ether as a result the mirror is moving(relatively to ether), so the light is changing it's phase because it has to travel longer distance, but after hitting the mirror and moving towards splitter again we should concider that the splitter is also moving towards the light(entire apparatus is moving relative to ether). As a result the light will turn back to its same phaseas it was before when it hits the splitter again, because now the splitter is moving towards the light and light will travel less distance. But i think the lights will not combine in the same place on the splitter, if ether was moving...
