In a Michelson Interferometer when Mirror 1 is moved a distance Δ𝑑=𝜆0/2Δ, this path difference changes by 𝜆0, and each fringe moves to the position previously occupied by an adjacent fringe. Δ𝑑=𝑚(𝜆0/2) I also know from the equation for I0=2I0 - 2I0 cos (2kdL or 2wt) that the fringes shift by a...

Dude... it's one of Maxwell's equations. This is from a publicly available slide in my modern physics lecture. The E script stands for the electric field. The powerpoint doesn't have references. The link to the publicly available powerpoint is here. It's on slide 25.

Unfortunately, the notation is from a power point and has no references.

Hi, I attached a photo above. I've re-attached it here

I've attached an example here.

Thank you! So the question is to compute the Taylor Series for (e^(-ax^2)) about the value x = 0 to second order in x?

In my introductory modern physics class, I was asked to compute the Taylor Series for exp(-ax^2) about the value x = 0 to second order in x. I am unfamiliar with the what "exp" before the function means, despite having approximated functions with Taylor Series before. I think there was some gap...
