Their explanation was that the vibrating drumhead, for example, alternately pushes and pulls on the air directly above it, sending out waves of compression and decompression (known as rarefaction), like the expanding circles of ripples from a disturbance on the surface of a pond.

5 days ago · The major objective of the Michael Morley experiment was to verify the ether hypothesis. The experiment has been repeated several times but there was no particular conclusion of the Michelson-Morley experiment.

The Michelson-Morley Experiment. In Michelson’s interferometer, shown schematically in Figure 1-9a, light beams are the analogy of the boats in Example 1-3, with Earth corresponding to the ground. The field of view seen by the observer consists of parallel alternately bright and dark interference fringes (Figure 1-9b.)

How does Michelson experiment work?
an experiment was suggested to detect the dependence of the velocity on the direction in a moving frame of the laboratory on the Earth. The experiment was proposed and the first time performed by Albert Michelson (a Nobel laureate, American physicist born in Poland) [1]. The experiment is continually being repeated,
