An interferometer is a scientific instrument used to measure and analyze the interference patterns of waves, such as light or radio waves. It's employed in various fields, including astronomy, optics, and quantum mechanics, to precisely measure distances, detect small changes, and explore wave properties for applications like gravitational wave detection and assessing optical components' quality.

∙ 11y agoExtreme high-precision measurements. a variation on the basic principle is used in one form of seismograph, the beam-displacement type which has two light beams ( conventional or Laser) at an L -shaped angle and there are reflecting mirrors, etc. any seismic jolt is immediately registered. Interferometers were famous in the Michelson-Morley experiment which disproved the existence of Interstellar Ether as a material substance.

What is the principle used in ultrasonic interferometer?
Inverse piezo-electric effect.
Why kerosene is not used in ultrasonic interferometer?
Fire Hazard, it is used as Jet Fuel and even in rockets.
What are some applications of the Michelson Interferometer?
The Michelson Interferometer is used to create an interference pattern by splitting a beam of light into two paths. This device has several important scientific applications for experimentation.
Explain how ultrasonic waves can be produced in the laboratory?
using ultrasonic interferometer
Why circular fringes are obtained in michelson interferometer?
The mirrors are perfectly perpendicular
What is the interferometer used for?
It allows two or more small telescopes to achieve the angular resolution of a much larger telescope. This instrument is credited to Albert A. Michaelson.
What is the purpose of compensating plate in michelson interferometer?
a compensating plate is used in michelson interferometer to compensate the additional path difference of ray 1
