We know that the phase of the photon emitted from the source at x = x1 at the time t+T must be 2pi more than the photon emtted at the time t. So: phi(t+T,x1)-phi(t,x1) = 2pi aT = 2pi a = 2pi/T = 2pi.c/l (usually called the angular frequency w, of course) So the equation becomes: phi(t,x) = (2pi.c/l)t +((2pi.c/l)/c - 2pi/l)x = (2pi.c/l)t ================================================= ======== # So according to your BaTh: # # phi(t,x) = (2pi.c/l)t (in the source frame) # # The phase doesn't depend on x, all the photons in # the ray have at any time the same phase. ================================================= ======== It's your model, Henri.

Actual experimental runs were always performed with white light. The reason for this is that white light creates a distinctive pattern of a central bright white fringe surrounded by a rapidly fading set of colored fringes. The advantage of this is that the central fringe of equal path length is always readily identifiable, whereas monochromatic light produces uniform fringes in which it is virtually impossible to determine the central fringe of equal path length. I know. I once made a michelson interferometer. I was quite easy to adjust. Using a monochromatic light source, yes. A white light Michelson interferometer is rather finicky because of the short coherence length. The distinctive pattern of fringes formed by white light enabled Michelson and Morley, who recorded their observations visually, not to "get lost" while figuring out how far their fringes were displaced from their fiducial marks. The deliberate tilting of the top mirror to create an optical wedge was a later innovation that produced almost straight line fringes. Nope. See my next comments. It is obviously easier to measure the sideways displacement of a line than to estimate the shade of fairly uniform image. Tilting doesn't work with a white light interferometer. The interference pattern doesn't extend far enough out to get "straight" fringes, and the fringes would be colored. The early experimentalists used SLIT sources of light. Obviously you are accustomed to monochromatic light and lasers. Maybe circles are still preferred in metrology. get it yet? Sure. But YOU sure haven't. In the Michelson and Gale experiment, which was a giant Sagnac setup, the central fringe, in the absence of rotation, would appear precisely midway between the two images of the slit. This enabled them to calibrate their apparatus for zero rotational velocity; it was thus not necessary for them to halt the rotation of the Earth to get a zero reading, which would have been somewhat impractical in the absence of divine intervention (Joshua 10:12-15). Note that I stated that the pattern of colored fringes surrounding the central bright fringe fades rapidly. This is because the spacing between the red fringes and the blue fringes is different. Within a few fringe widths from the central fringe, the colored fringes overlap until the fringe pattern is no longer perceptible. Since each fringe represents a half wave difference in path length to the two images of the source slit, this means that the path lengths must be precisely matched, otherwise it would be impossible to see any fringes at all. This distance to which the path lengths must be matched, otherwise fringes are invisible, is known as the "coherence length". The coherence length for white light is no more than a handful of microns. Your notion that "fringe production in a sagnac interferometer is something to do with the phase relationship between INCOMING and OUTGOING rays rather than the rejoining of the two oppositely moving rays" is totally ridiculous to anybody who knows anything at all about optics. It's all irelevant anyway since light moves at c wrt its source and everything at rest wrt the source. Anything you don't understand is "irrelevant"?

George, let me explain. George, you don't understand frames. Henry, you are the one trying to say that fixed points can move, it is obvious to everyone you have no idea what a frame is. You still can't see that the start point is static in the inertial frame but moving backward in the rotating frame. Thank you for proving the point. wHAT?..THAT YOU ARE ACTING DUMB? Paul, I and many others have repeatedly told you that you don't understand what a frame is but instead of listening to the explanations you just shout abuse. This is just another case where your ignorance is catching you out. Not only that, every previously emitted 'wavecrest' moves backward in proportion. That is the physics that matters. If that happened the speed would not be c relative to the source in the rotating frame, it woud be c relative to your hypothetical point, which of course is what SR says, that's why you get the "right answer". Gord, your not acting at all..... The point is moving in the rotating frame, the light moves at c+v wrt that point in the rotating frame....because the source is moving at v in the nonrotating frame even though the emission point is not.. It is moving at that speed relative to the LAB, not a POINT in the frame. Learn the difference between coordinates and the physical objects to which they relate. George my server finally fixed the problem and I was abl to upload this: http://www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/ringgyro.exe It may be some time until I can look at it, my wife and I are at an exhibition for the nxt two days and I have tickets for the Dolphins vs. the Giants at Wembley on Sunday :-) OK. Actually I did comment in another reply after a quick look. ROFL, Henry that's a classic: "the fact that the elements emitted simutaneously do not arrive simultaneously" is just another way of saying there is a phase difference at the detector! Again you miss the point. SR says that the elements of the rays that reunite were NOT emitted simultaneously. The ones that DO meet at the detector were emitted with different phases. However, since the travel times are DIFFERENT in SR, this phase difference cancels to some extent. You are losing it Henry, think again. The elements are emitted in phase and have different travel times so arrive out of phase, there is no cancellation, the effect you descibe is what causes the signals to be out of phase in the first place. think again George. I'm not losing it. You are Andersen are.. It's only a small second order effect anyway. No, it is the first order effct. You should be able to work this out Henry, you are sort of double-counting. It's the one involved when you replace c^2-v^2 with c^2. Don't worry about it. BaTh says they were emitted simultaneously but differ in phase when they arrive....due to an intrinsic effect. No, apply eqn [2] of the theory, ballistic theory says they are emitted simultaneously and have equal travel times so arrive simultaneously. Indeed they do!!!! And their 'intrinsic oscillation' is out of phase because it goes through 1 cycle every wavelength traveled. Simple isn't it. Very. The distance travelled is the distance moved by a surface of given phase, so the 'intrinsic oscillation' appears when you measure at a fixed point and is of constant phase at a point moving at the speed of the photon. However, even if you try to do what you want, it isn't "every wavelength traveled", it should be the distance travelled by a wave in the duration of a source cycle, that is the error I have been pointing out consistently throughout. When you decide to listen, you will be able to correct your maths error. Correct, and since they were emitted in phase that means they arrive in phase. no George, that's only according to your classical wave theory. it doesn't apply Arrival time = emission time plus travel time in all theories. George, the leading edge - and indeed the whole waveform - of your 'moving wiggles' does not change. The leading edge of a BaTh photon goes trough a cycle for every wavelength moved. Sorry Henry, you are talking nonsense. As I have pointed out several times, a standing wave is the combination of two travelling waves and the speed of each is that of a point of fixed phase. I have defined wavelength in this context. Rubbish, the wavelength is defined as the distance between repetitions of the periodic waveform at a given instant. The absolute wavelength of light is the distance moved in the source frame during one cycle of its 'intrinsic oscillation'. Since it moves at c relative to the source (in the source frame), lambda = c/nu. Lambda is an absolute length and the same in all frames. Yes but the distance moved in that time in any other frame is not the same as the wavelength. Your web page mistake is that you use the wavelength for the distance moved but in the inertial frame, that is wrong. 'nu' should not be confused with the 'inferred frequency', which is the number of wavelengths arriving per second...or nu(c+v)/c. Wrong, the phase difference is pathlength / distance_per_cycle, your algebra is plucked out of thin air and is not correct. George, in BaTh the 'distance per cycle' is absolute and the same in all frames. No, you are thinking of the wavelength which as you say is frame invariant. The distance moved per cycle is (c+v)/f whereas the wavelength is just c/f. That small error is why your maths is wrong. Wrong. see above. What you say above confirms what I said. the equations and answer is given at:http://www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/ringgyro.htm See above, your maths is wrong. See above. It is not. See above, your own definition confirms it is. Androcles wants to use frequency instead of wavelength and is yet to come up with a prediction of fringe shift in spite of all his raving. The correct approach is to form a set of simultaneous equations for the motion of a phase front of the light based on the motion of the source (beam splitter) and for the motion the detector. Solving that gives the arival time of the phase front at the detector and the approach allows for arbitrary variations of source speed. the equations and answer is given at:http://www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/ringgyro.htm See above, your maths is wrong. See above. It is not. A simplification of that is suitable for constant speed where the travel time is also constant hence detection time can be found simply as emission time plus travel time. What you find is that the arrivial time for both beams is the same hence the detector sees the source Wrong as usual, the postulate is derived from Maxwell's Equations each of which is experimentally confirmed, and the one-way speed is confirmed as c experimentally by the Sagnac experiment. You don't have the ability to understand the maths involved. Maxwell's equations use the absolute aether as a speed reference. No they don't, they use the observer as the reference, the speed of the aether relative to the observer does not appear in the equations. It has always been too small to worry about. It is fundamental, maxwell's Equation do not use a medium. As I said, it appears you don't have the ability to understand the maths involved. George, you are way behind.. No, you just don't have the maths ability. They don't apply to photon particles. Obviously but aggregating photons must produce Maxwell's Equations. In a medium. Speeds must always be specified relative to something George. Nope, no medium, the speeds are relative to the observer. ie., MAGIC, to adjust both light speeds to be 'c'. There is no adjustment clueless, the light is EMITTED moving at c in the inertial frame. It requires that the two rays move at c+v and c-v wrt the source. Nope, they move at c relative to the source. It states that..... but uses c+/-v in the equations. Nope, it uses c. It appears you don't have the ability to understand the maths involved. Travel time is distance/speed. Obviously, and the time, distances and speeds must all be experessed in the same coordinate scheme. t=2piR/(c+v) What does the 'c+v' represent, George? Oh good grief, how basic does this need to be for you to understand? "c" is the speed of the light, it tells you the distance the light moves in a given time. "v" is the speed of the splitter, it tells you the distance the splitter moves in a given time. "c+v" represents the sum of two speeds, it is the sum of the distance move by the light and the distance moved by the splitter and is also the increase in their separation in a given time. It is NOT the speed of either the light or the splitter. George |
