SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around the Michelson-Morley experiment and its implications on the concept of light's speed in relation to a rotating hot bulb. The participant presents a homemade test involving a camera and a bulb, questioning whether the observed line during a 24-hour exposure indicates motion. The key equation derived is omega = Vx/R = Vy/(R+1), which relates the velocities of the bulb and camera. The participant seeks clarity on the interpretation of their experimental results.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Michelson-Morley experiment
  • Familiarity with basic physics concepts of velocity and rotation
  • Knowledge of light speed (C = 300,000,000 m/s)
  • Experience with experimental design and data collection
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the Michelson-Morley experiment on modern physics
  • Explore the concept of relative motion in physics
  • Learn about the principles of camera exposure and motion detection
  • Investigate the mathematical modeling of rotational motion
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, experimental physicists, and anyone interested in the historical context and implications of the Michelson-Morley experiment on the understanding of light and motion.

Bulb >>> Light
-----> V

Hot bulb is making rotation . Exist C + V ?

Michelson Morley

X1..............solar system


Not exist C+V = only Source is making rotation around X1 ?

X1 - far far point in space


Homework Equations



C = 300 000 000 m/s

Bulb ----------Vy---------->

omega = Vx/R = Vy/R+1 ====> Vy = (R+ 1 ) / R * Vx

The Attempt at a Solution



24h long picture test

X1 .........Camera .....1m ......(doth ) [ cover ] bulb

Camera is open 24h
if doth = Line we can register motion ?


My problem is simple I made in home test and I see line
What mean that I see line ?

Do you really think people can make sense out of what you've written here?
