RE: Determination of wavelengths and indices of refraction with the use of the interferometer "Experiments of physics"
I remember having taken part to some lab classes involving Michelsons. This was very funny at that time (I was young; everything was funny). Today, where I work, we are still playing with lasers and interferences, but no Michelsons. We are having fun with sound waves in water instead :D
jejeje if in fact the experiment of Michelson and Fabry-Perot are old enough, but are ideal to learn from the beginning the behavior of waves, also the device is very simple to use, I am very happy that my post brings you good memories Friend: D

They are still part of any wave mechanics set of lectures, as they are very good example to understand how things actually work. I discussed them widely during mine, 4-5 years ago when I was lecturing this topic :)
Of course because Michelson was the precursor of these studies and always to take as a base any subject related to this subject
