A.
Michelson interferometer
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.
Fizeau experiment
chosen
The Fizeau experiment was a pioneering 19th-century physics experiment that measured the speed of light using a rotating toothed wheel and helped establish light’s finite velocity.
-
C.
Sagnac interferometer
A Sagnac interferometer is an optical device that splits and recombines light traveling in opposite directions around a closed loop to measure rotation or phase shifts with high precision.
-
D.
Arago ring
The Arago ring is a faint, narrow planetary ring encircling Neptune, named after the French astronomer François Arago.
-
E.
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.
