Michelson-Morley experiment

Nothing to do with paper modeling. For my daughter's science fair project, we decided to recreate the famous Michelson-Morley experiment demonstrating that light is a wave as shown by an interference (fringe) pattern created when two beams of light creatively and destructively interfere with each other. Here's the setup:

Here's the project in action with all the parts labelled.

Lastly, some pictures showing the fringe pattern, especially well seen on the black screen.

Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed putting this project together.
