What is intensity division?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Light is allowed to pass through a partially silvered mirror (beam splitter), both reflection and refraction take place simultaneously.
(ii) As the two light beams are obtained from the same light source, the two divided light beams will be coherent beams.
(iii) They will be differences in either in-phase or at constant phase. Instruments like Michelson's interferometer, Fabray-Perrot etalon work on this principle.
