**Part A**How far must the mirror \( M_2 \) (see the figure [Figure 1]) of the Michelson interferometer be moved so that 1950 fringes of He-Ne laser light (633 nm) move across a line in the field of view?\[ x = \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{mm} \][Submit] [Request Answer][Provide Feedback] **Figure Explanation**The figure illustrates a Michelson interferometer setup:- **Monochromatic Light Source:** Light enters from the left, labeled as point \( A \).- **Beam Splitter:** Positioned at point \( C \), it divides the incoming light into two paths.- **Movable Mirror \( M_2 \):** Reflects the light back towards the beam splitter.- **Fixed Mirror \( M_1 \):** Reflects another part of the split light back to the beam splitter.- **Compensator Plate (D):** Ensures the optical paths are equal.- **Reflected Paths:** After reflection, the light paths recombine and create an interference pattern.- **Light Path Labels:** \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \) indicate the light paths to and from mirrors.The eye observes the interference pattern formed by the recombined light. The question asks for the displacement of \( M_2 \) needed to observe a specific number of interference fringes.
