AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on an experiment conducted in a warehouse using a Laze light and curtain positioned 50 meters apart to test light aberration. It is theorized that due to the Earth's movement, the light point should shift by 5 mm over a 12-hour period, resulting in a total movement of 10 mm after 24 hours. However, the experiment did not show any movement of the light point, raising questions about the presence of aberration phenomena on the ground. Participants express confusion regarding the relevance of the Earth's speed to the warehouse experiment and request clarification on the methodology. The conversation highlights the need for clearer communication and understanding of the experimental setup.

experiment in the warehouse

Using a Laze light and curtain far from it 50 m. It is supposed that A is a light centre when having no aberration phenomenon. Because the Earth moves at the speed of 30 km/s, therefore, at any period, the aberration phenomenon will happen at maximum - light point askew 5 mm in comparison with A for any side. 12 hours later, when the Earth rotates 1/2 revolution, the aberration phenomenon will happen at maximum - light point askew 5 mm in comparison with A for the reverse side. In spite of not knowing which thing is light point centre A when having no aberration phenomenon, but when observing for 24 hours, we will see that the light point moves a distance of 10 mm. The above test has been done but the light point hasn't moved. Therefore, is there aberration phenomenon on the ground ?

I don't understand the "test" you are describing. What is the relevance of the Earth's speed if the test is done in a warehouse? Please describe the exact situation clearly.

If you are describing an actual experiment, please provide a published reference.

Then you need to figure out how to present and clarify the question, because it isn't clear.

Zz.
 
I don't know ! Can who speak Vietnamese ?
 
Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
