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.

How does a Michelson interferometer convert phase modulation into amplitude modulation?

initially the two beams i.e. one reflected and one transmitted from semi reflecting glass were in different phase but when they superimpose two interference take place - constructive and destructive. since in both the interferences amplitude changes.


When did the plate tectonics stopped?

The movement of plate tectonics is still happening today. Movement will continue due to the continents are floating on the semi-molten mantle.

A slab of continental or oceanic crust is known as?

A slab of continental or oceanic crust is known as a tectonic plate. These plates make up the Earth's lithosphere and float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, moving due to the process of plate tectonics.


What causes the continent's drift?

Tectonic Plates are floating on the semi-molten mantle. As there is movement beneath the crust, so the plates slowly move. The Indian plate crashing into the Asian plate, and being forced beneath the Asian plate, resulted in the formation of the Himalayas.


What is the sections of the earth that move about and cause earthquakes and volcanoes?

They are called tectonic plates. There are : Eurasian Plate, Arabian Plate, African Plate, South American Plate, Caribbean Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate, Philippine Plate, Indo-Australian Plate and the Antarctic Plate.


What are 7 majors plates?

The seven major tectonic plates are the Pacific Plate, North American Plate, Eurasian Plate, African Plate, South American Plate, Antarctic Plate, and Indo-Australian Plate. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and are responsible for seismic activity, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The interactions between these plates can lead to various geological features, such as mountains, trenches, and rift valleys.


Does mars have a asthenosphere?

Mars does not have an asthenosphere like Earth. The asthenosphere is a layer in Earth's upper mantle that is semi-fluid and allows for plate tectonics to occur. Mars does not have active plate tectonics, so it does not have a comparable asthenosphere.
