    Analytical Calculations and Fringe to Position Sensitivity Calibration for Michelson Interferometer: Performed analytical calculations in order to obtain equations for the fringe pattern formed due to Michelson Interferometer setup. Setup the Michelson Interferometer and learnt how to change the fringe pattern by varying different parameters like angle of inclination between mirrors and distance between mirrors. Obtained readings for the setup by varying a parameter.
