| Aug 27, 2015 at 20:19 | comment | added | Paul | Wouldn't the spacing between the fringes be quantitative? | |
| Aug 27, 2015 at 18:27 | comment | added | Rene Duchamp | This would be a good idea for quick estimation. If I want a quantitative result (for eg conduct the same experiment over 100 such cases) then its better to have a experimental data to compare and form a toleration point. | |
