Title: How does a Michelson Interferometer work?
Post by: itsnaresh on 02/08/2013 06:03:30

Hi,
In Michelson Interferometer, using sodium vapour lamp, where are the fringes located and how can these be seen? I have tried to see them with spectrometer telescope having objective lens of 178mm focal length, 35mm dia and eyepiece of 15X, but I can not see the fringes. However if I remove the eyepiece and see through the objective, fringes can be seen.
I would be grateful for your help
