Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details the author's experiments with the displacement interferometer, a modified Michelson interferometer invented by the author. Following a brief overview of the use of interferometry in the measurement of length with high precision, the author describes the design of the displacement interferometer and its application to the horizontal pendulum, a device used to measure the acceleration due to gravity. The author goes on to describe experiments using the interferometer to measure the gravitational attraction of two parallel disks. The book concludes with a discussion of the instrument's potential applications in other areas of physics, such as the study of the constant of gravitation and the measurement of the velocity of light.
