A Michelson interferometer is an optical instrument which works on the principle of constructive/destructive interference of waves which travel a different distance (introducing a phase difference). Would such an instrument work on sunlight? Why or why not? Could you build an RF equivalent? If so, describe it.

Two waves are traveling in opposite directions on the same string. The displacements caused by the individiual waves are given by y1=(27.0 mm)sin(5.07πt - 1.72πx) and y2=(38.0 mm)sin(2.14πt + 0.229πx). Note that the phase angles (5.07πt - 1.72πx) and (2.14πt + 0.229πx) are in radians, t is in seconds, and x is in meters. At t = 5.90 s, what is the net displacement (in mm) of the string at (a) x = 2.30 m and (b) x = 2.99...

The following two waves are sent in opposite directions on a horizontal string so as to create a standing wave in a vertical plane: y1(x, t) = (6.80 mm) sin(4.80πx - 460πt) y2(x, t) = (6.80 mm) sin(4.80πx + 460πt), with x in meters and t in seconds. An antinode is located at point A. In the time interval that point takes to move from maximum upward displacement to maximum downward displacement, how far does each wave move along the...
