3 days ago · The Michelson–Morley experiment was an attempt to measure the motion of the Earth relative to the luminiferous aether, a supposed medium permeating space that was thought to be the carrier of light waves.
1 day ago · The study group included Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley who subsequently performed the Michelson–Morley experiment, which found no luminiferous aether. Kelvin did not provide a text, but A. S. Hathaway took notes and duplicated them with a papyrograph .
The text suggests that standard models, including the Michelson-Morley experiment's interpretation, fail to account for an "etheric" component in space, which would change the understanding of light and its behavior【7:2†source】【7:5†source】. 5. **Alternative Periodic Table:**
2 days ago · During his experiments on electromagnetic radiation (to demonstrate light consists of e-m waves), Hertz noticed a spark between the two metallic balls when a high frequency radiation incident on it. This is called photoelectric effect.
4 days ago · The story starts long ago in 1887 with Michelson-Morley Experiment which showed that speed of light is same in all directions. Why is it so special ? It was proved that light has a wave nature, I mean it was believed that light is a wave just like sound waves.
Get a hint. If Earth had a pair of identical moons on opposite sides of the same circular orbit, the center of gravity of the double-moon-Earth system would be: outside the Earth, but within the orbital path of the moons. inside the Earth, but off center.
5 days ago · The concept of luminiferous aether was widely believed up until the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887, which provided evidence that the luminiferous aether probably did not exist. Einstein's theory of special relativity eventually ruled out the existence of such a phenomenon and the concept was finally abandoned.
