ATM Berry's Foucault tester
This is about the Foucault tester in Richard Berry's (BYOT) book. It seems
that when you start looking at shadows, it matters which vertical
position you place your eye at. Move your eye up and down and the
shadows seem to change. I think it's because the "slit" of light
coming back from the mirror doesn't exactly line up with the knife
edge.
Has anyone else noticed this problem? It's highly annoying. What do
you suggest? Thanks!
