    Why are Localized Fringes Curved in a Michelson Interferometer Experiment?

    Your source it too close to the beam splitter. You said “localized fringes” so you must be using an extended source. You must be viewing the fringes through a telescope or other imaging arrangement to view the image which is located on the surface of the beam splitter (Born and Wolf, 6th...

    Michelson Interferometer and mirror

    Can you give me a hint about your equation for delta_x?

    Geiger counter calibration question

    This site that you referenced says that different instruments will get different mR/hr readings from the same source. Is that right?

    Why are blue-shifted galaxies concentrated in specific sky directions?

    Are you sure? The site is called the "NASA/IPAC EXTRAGALACTIC DATABASE". All of the "blue-shifted" entries the I found have a negative velocity that was determined by shifting of spectral lines. For example, how can you tell that 2dFGRS S805Z292 or 2dFGRS S433Z059 are stars instead of...

    Why are blue-shifted galaxies concentrated in specific sky directions?

    Thanks for letting me know that 2dFGRS refers to a study of red-shifted galaxies done in Austrailia. But, I still don't understand your comment completely. Are you saying that the blue-shifted spots that I plotted are stars within the 2dFGRS galaxies. It seems that you are saying the the...

    Why are blue-shifted galaxies concentrated in specific sky directions?

    There are almost 7000 blue-shifted galaxies listed the NED all-sky website (see ref. 1,below) and I plotted them (a random sample), http://fittedplane.blogspot.com/2009...-are-more.html . I have an x-y plot of the Decl vs RA and also a plot of them on the celestial sphere (seen from the...
