Abstract

According to the theory of interference of light,we simulate the intensity distribution curve of Michelson interference experiment by using MATLAB program.The interference fringes will change by adjusting the parameters of incident light intensity and wavelength,thickness and refractive index of medium,focal length,etc.This kind of computer simulation method extends the study ways of equal inclination interference problem,and has some potential application value and direct effects,especially for teaching.
