Consider a Michelson interferometer as shown at right. mirrors beam splitter 14) After tuning the interferometer, such that there is maximal constructive interference, your lab partner bumps one of the outer mirrors, reducing the path length of that arm of the interferometer. You notice that your photometer (a tool for measuring the intensity of light) reading has reduced by a factor of 2. What is the minimum distance that the mirror could have been bumped? a. X2 b. 24 c. 1/8 d. W/16 e. 2
