על מדידת מהירות האור
אני מעתיק לכאן פוסט ממקום אחר שנכתב באנגלית ומתוך עצלות אני לא מתרגם. סליחה. תשובות בעברית עדיפות כמובן.
#1- Correct me if I am wrong: All meaurements of the speed of llight are done by measuring a back and forth travel of the light. We send a beam of light from point A to point B (a mirror) and count the time it took the light to return to the source(A). Are there any other methods that i am not aware off?
#2- A photon "bouncing" off a mirror will lose some of its energy to the mirror. Correct?
#1+#2: 1+2=.....3? About #1 - If there are no other methods of measuring the speed of light other then the "back and forth" experiment, then we are meausring an average speed of the A to B and B to A travles. Aren't we? We can not single out a measurment only for A to B travel or B to A, due to synchronisation diffuclties. Correct?
So taking to consideration the above #2 that the photon has lost some of its energy..... maybe the back and the forth are no the same speed?
Funny question, I know.
THANKS FOR YOUR WISE ANSWERS!
