Best Answer

Splitting ( with mirrors, prisms, etc) a beam of light and then bringing it into coincidence. this is similar to the coincidence or split-image type of range finder used in some cameras such as the Leica. Modern SLRS do not use this device as they focus directly through the lens.

Why you use semi silvered plate in michelson interferometer?

To get a double image, which is then focused until one gets coincidence. Sextants, some camera rangefinders, etc make use of this beam-splitting principle.
