A A Michelson was a German-born American physicist who established the speed of light as a fundamental constant and pursued other spectroscopic and metrological investigations He received the 1907 Nobel Prize for Physics
- 3. 6: The Michelson Interferometer - Physics LibreTexts
The Michelson interferometer (invented by the American physicist Albert A Michelson, 1852–1931) is a precision instrument that produces interference fringes by splitting a light beam into two parts and then recombining them after they have traveled different optical paths

- Albert A. Michelson | Case Western Reserve University
Physicist Albert A Michelson received the 1907 Nobel Prize in Physics for developing an interferometer, which incorporates a translucent mirror to divide a beam of light waves, route them through different channels, recombine them and create patterns to measure precise lengths and light velocities He founded the Department of Physics at Case

During his career, Michelson touched on many physics topics but excelled in optics He performed early measurements of the velocity of light with amazing delicacy and in 1881 he invented his interferometer for the purpose of discovering the effect of the Earth's motion on the observed velocity
