The interferometer has much refined the indications of the balance.
Many diverse applications of the interferometer have been developed, as, for example, in thermometry.
In the interferometer the approach of the small ball to the large one produced a displacement of seven whole fringes.
The telescope shown is part of an interferometer used to measure flexure of the support.
In 1907, the Michelson interferometer was adapted to this purpose by the U.
One mirror of the interferometer is attached to the pendulum support; the other to the separate masonry pillar at the left.
Meanwhile the 20-foot interferometer has been improved so materially that it now promises to yield approximate measures of stars at first supposed to be beyond its capacity.
A photograph of the interferometeris shown in Fig.
Interferometer measures, now in progress on Mount Wilson, indicate that its angular diameter is about 0.
The success of this work strongly encouraged the more ambitious project of measuring the diameter of a star, and the 20-foot interferometer was built for this purpose.
As the outer mirrors were separated the interference fringes gradually became less distinct, as theory requires, and as Doctor Merrill had previously seen when observing Betelgeuse with the interferometer used for Capella.
We must also apply the interferometer method to stars of the various spectral types, in order to afford a sure basis for future studies of stellar evolution.
He also showed how the same principle could be applied to the measurement of star diameters if a sufficiently large interferometer could be built for this purpose, and developed the theory much more completely than Stéphan had done.
Twenty-foot Michelson interferometerfor measuring star diameters, attached to upper end of the skeleton tube of the 100-inch Hooker telescope.
My interferometer gave me a clue," he remarked, as he held the tube up with satisfaction.
By applying the interferometer method to Capella, arc distances of much less than one-twentieth of a second of arc were measured.
The resolving power of the interferometer is found to be somewhat more than double that of a telescope of the same aperture.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "interferometer" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
