Michelson Interferometry Simulation is a Python-based project that models the interference pattern produced by a Michelson interferometer using a monochromatic light source. This simulation demonstrates how the intensity at the detector varies as one of the mirrors is displaced, revealing the characteristic fringes that arise from coherent wave interference. It’s a concise and effective way to visualize the core principle behind one of the most historically significant instruments in optical physics.
