This is just plain wrong. In SR, both the frequency and the wavelength of a given light beam (in vacuum) depend on the inertial frame in which they are measured. But in all frames the product wavelength*frequency is the same value, c. Bravo Honest Roberts! It seems you believe that, in a gravitational field, again, "the product wavelength*frequency is the same value, c", but in this case you have a slightly different explanation: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.p...2bf614c261e66c Tom Roberts: "Pound et al used the 22-meter Harvard tower, using the Moessbauer effect to obtain the requisite resolution. The others use atomic clocks. None of the above measured wavelength directly. But we do know that on earth the speed of light is c, and in the GPS the speed of light is c between satellite and ground." Pentcho Valev |
