The document describes the Michelson interferometer, an instrument that can produce interference fringes. It consists of a coherent light source, a beam splitter, a reference mirror, a movable mirror, and a screen. The interferometer was introduced by Albert Michelson to verify the existence of the ether and was later used by Einstein to support his theory of special relativity. It has applications in measuring refractive index, visualizing interference, studying turbulence, characterizing plasmas, and abso
