Abstract

The method for measuring the refractive index of thick medium plate is studied by means of Michelson interferometer.It is observed that the adjustment direction of reflector (M1) is abnormal when the medium plate is inserted.This phenomena is explained theoretically.A new formula about the relation between the moving distance of reflector (M1) in twice observations and the refractive index of the medium plate is derived.The validity of the formula is further proved by the experimental results.
