Formula for calculating wavelength of light in Michelson interferometer is

MUET Entry Test, MUET Entry Test 2018 Past Paper, MUET Entry Test Past Papers /

A. X = mλ
B. X =1/2 mλ
C. X = 2mλ
D. X = 4mλ

B. X =1/2 mλ

or λ = 2D / n

where:

  • λ (lambda) is the wavelength of light
  • D is the distance moved by the mirror (one arm of the interferometer)
  • n is the number of fringes observed
