-
A.
Michelson interferometer
chosen
The Michelson interferometer is a precision optical instrument that splits and recombines light beams to measure extremely small differences in path length, widely used in fundamental physics experiments and metrology.
-
B.
Fizeau interferometer
The Fizeau interferometer is an optical instrument that uses the interference of light reflected between closely spaced surfaces to make highly precise measurements of distances, surface flatness, and refractive index.
-
C.
Narrabri Stellar Intensity Interferometer
The Narrabri Stellar Intensity Interferometer was a pioneering astronomical instrument in Australia that used intensity interferometry to measure the angular diameters of hot stars with unprecedented precision.
-
D.
Michelson rotating mirror experiments
Michelson rotating mirror experiments were precision optical measurements conducted by Albert A. Michelson to determine the speed of light using rapidly spinning mirrors and long-distance light paths.
-
E.
Palomar Testbed Interferometer
The Palomar Testbed Interferometer is an astronomical interferometer designed to combine light from multiple small telescopes to achieve extremely high angular resolution for precision measurements of stars and other celestial objects.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
Provenance (3 batches)
The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
