Opposing hypotheses of the reflection of light applied to the Michelson interferometer

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.

 

La dérivation des chemins lumineux dans l'interféromètre de Michelson est basée sur l'hypothèse que la vitesse incidente et la vitesse réfléchie du front d'onde d'un rayon lumineux sont égales dans le cadre de référence au repos absolu. Dans ce cas, l'expérience de Michelson-Morley prédit un décalage de frange de 0.40. Avec l'hypothèse que la vitesse incidente et la vitesse réfléchie du front d'onde d'un rayon lumineux sont égales dans le cadre inertiel d'un miroir au moment de la collision, l'expérience de Michelson-Morley prédit un décalage de frange de 0.40 ×10-4, ce qui est en accord avec le résultat expérimental.
