Q1. The path length between the M 1 and M 2 is , and the difference
cos θ
between D M 2 and EB is2 d tan θ sin θ.
Therefore, the path length difference between paths ABE and ACD is:
2d
−2 d tan θ sin θ
cos θ
¿ 2 d ∙ 1−¿ ¿ ¿
¿2d∙¿¿
¿ 2 d cos θ
Just like the picture below:
Q2
a. Twice. Since the partially reflective surface is on the backside of the
Beam splitter, the reflected beam leaves the splitter once and get reflected again
at the moveable mirror. The reflected beam then passes through the splitter
again. Thus, the reflected beam passes through the Beam splitter twice.
