Question
In a Michelson-type experiment, the path followed by a beam of light when the eight sided mirror is at rest is as shown below. The detector indicates a maximum signal. As the eight sided mirror begins to rotate, the beam of light no longer follows this path, and the detector indicates a decreased signal.
Once the eight sided mirror is rotating, what is the frequency of rotation for which the detector will first indicate a maximum signal?

Use the following information to answer the next question:
In a Michelson-type experiment, the path followed by a beam of light when the 8-sided mirror is
at rest is as shown below. The detector indicates a maximum signal.
As the 8-sided mirror begins to rotate, the beam of light no longer follows this path, and the
detector indicates a decreased signal.
