Target entity: Sagnac interferometer
Context triple: [Fourier transform spectrometer, mayUse, Sagnac interferometer]
  • A. Michelson interferometer
    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. Mach–Zehnder interferometer
    The Mach–Zehnder interferometer is an optical device that splits and recombines light beams to produce interference patterns, widely used to demonstrate and study fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and wave interference.
  • C. Arago ring
    The Arago ring is a faint, narrow planetary ring encircling Neptune, named after the French astronomer François Arago.
  • D. Fizeau experiment
    The Fizeau experiment was a pioneering 19th-century physics experiment that measured the speed of light using a rotating toothed wheel and helped establish light’s finite velocity.
  • E. Kennedy–Thorndike experiment
    The Kennedy–Thorndike experiment is a classic test of special relativity that examined the constancy of the speed of light using an interferometer with unequal arm lengths and varying laboratory velocity.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
