Scientific paper

A Michelson interferometer that employs a He-Ne laser and corner reflectors has been constructed. One arm of the interferometer is vertical and the corner reflector falls in a three foot acrylic tube vacuum chamber. By counting interference fringes over two time intervals that begin simultaneously but have different durations, the free-fall acceleration can be computed from the fringe counts for the two intervals, the time interval durations, and the laser wavelength. The value obtained for the free fall acceleration in our laboratory is 9.7970 ±0.0004 m/s2. This talk will provide additional details about the apparatus and its resolution.
