Abstract
Optics and interferometry are two subjects in physics that can pose difficulties for blind and low vision students due to the vision-centered nature of most of the experiments. However, audible light sensors can be used alongside simple modifications to allow blind and low vision students to fully participate in optics and interferometry experiments in a classroom or laboratory setting. A general treatment of strategies will be discussed and several examples of modifications will be given.
