Opposing hypotheses of the reflection of light applied to the Michelson interferometer
Keyword(s):
The derivation of light paths in the Michelson interferometer is based on the hypothesis that the incident speed and reflected speed of the wavefront of a ray of light are equal in the frame at absolute rest. In this case, the Michelson‐Morley experiment predicts a fringe shift of 0.40. With the hypothesis that the incident speed and reflected speed of the wavefront of a ray of light are equal in the inertial frame of a mirror at the instance of collision, the Michelson‐Morley experiment predicts a fringe shift of 0.40 × 10−4, which is in agreement with the experimental result.
