Physics: Light and the luminiferous ether
Beschrijving
If waves are disruptions traveling through a medium and light is a wave, what medium does it travel through? A luminiferous ether?
Physics
Learn about the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. Solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry necessary.
Historical background
The Michelson and Morley experiment was a momentous event in the lead up to special relativity. In this section, we'll explain Michelson and Morley's search for experimental evidence of a luminiferous ether. (Spoiler...they didn't find it. And that blew people's minds.)
Topic: Science
Learn about all the sciences, from physics, chemistry and biology, to cosmology and astronomy…
