I think this is what I was looking for. Can you tell where I can study this thing in some detail?
Then I'll again come back if I didn't catch something there
@vanhees71 I'm not familiar with the mathematics of electromagnetic waves, and I also don't know what Lorentz boost is. @Orodruin In case of the ball there is a reason for that forward velocity (every particle had that velocity) but the light is not like a ball (i mean it's not a bunch of...
Yes...I understood your argument. You are saying that since light needs to be below ship in ship's frame so should it be in the ground frame by which you are giving rise to that velocity in the positive direction.Am I right.
But can one in ground frame tell why should that pulse have that...
I'm sorry for not explaining my doubt clearly... I was in a kind of a hurry when I posted this.Well now, I have attached the situation which was in my mind then. The problem is what my intuition says in the image seems to be opposite to the real scenario, but I don't know WHY.
I hope now I'm...
Hello There:woot:,
I have basic doubt about light propagation .So I'm hoping to get some help here.
The problem is ...Let us assume two frames, 'MOVING FRAME'[one moving with a certain velocity(constant)] and 'REST FRAME'[one wrt to which the first frame is moving]. If now moving frame emits a...
Hello there,
I have a problem with this image from the Michelson Morley experiment in which one tries to calculate the time taken by the light beam to traverse the arm of interferometer perpendicular to the velocity of the frame in 'ether'.
So the problem is, Are laws of reflection being...
