-
A.
Michelson interferometer
chosen
The Michelson interferometer is a precision optical instrument that splits and recombines light beams to measure extremely small differences in path length, widely used in fundamental physics experiments and metrology.
-
B.
Kennedy–Thorndike experiment
The Kennedy–Thorndike experiment is a classic test of special relativity that examined the constancy of the speed of light using an interferometer with unequal arm lengths and varying laboratory velocity.
-
C.
Michelson–Morley experiment
The Michelson–Morley experiment was a landmark 1887 physics experiment that attempted to detect the Earth's motion through the hypothesized luminiferous aether and whose null result helped pave the way for Einstein's theory of special relativity.
-
D.
Fourier transform spectrometer
A Fourier transform spectrometer is an optical instrument that measures the spectrum of a light source by recording an interference pattern and mathematically transforming it to obtain high-resolution spectral information.
-
E.
Arago ring
The Arago ring is a faint, narrow planetary ring encircling Neptune, named after the French astronomer François Arago.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
