Estudo e aplicações do fenômeno de interferência da luz utilizando o interferômetro

Abstract

The importance of experimentation within the degree courses in physics is the motivation for the elaboration of the present work, considering that practice is important in the teaching and learning process within this type of course. It is common to note that many students had contact with the discipline of physics, but for various reasons ended up not having the opportunity to build the experimental activities, in addition to the proposals in the catalogs of the didactic laboratories. In the midst of all this, the main objective of this work is to place the graduate student in physics in the routine of a laboratory, with the purpose of carrying out a scientific investigation through a refined experimentation, ending with the making, assembly and alignment of an interferometer Michelson. For the execution of this project, another work in the same area was used as the basis, where the experiment was already dimensioned. After the parts placed on the base, it was possible to carry out the alignment and calibration tests to subsequently obtain the desired interference pattern.
