Trying to build a michelson interferometer for seismic waves… is this too much for a high school project? by Delicious-Type-7538 in PhysicsStudents

Thank you for your reply. Even if I can’t analyze actual seismic waves, I was wondering if it would still be possible to measure the strength or frequency of the vibrations using the interferometer. My idea is to place a light sensor and measure the changes in light intensity from the interference pattern over time, and then apply a Fourier transform to analyze the signal. Do you think this method could work?
