If a one-side-silvered plane mirror were used in the Michelson apparatus, how much faster would it have had to spin so reflected light would be seen in the telescope?
The number of times the one-side-silvered plane mirror that were used in Michelson apparatus had to spin so reflected light would be seen in the telescope.
Answer to Problem 35A
The one-side-silvered plane mirror that were used in Michelson apparatus had to spin two times faster so reflected light would be seen in the telescope.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Michelson apparatus was used to measure the speed of light. His experimental value of speed of light was 299,920
The one-side-silvered plane mirror that were used in Michelson apparatus had to spin two times faster so reflected light would be seen in the telescope.
The incident light made
Conclusion:
Thus, the one-side-silvered plane mirror that were used in Michelson apparatus had to spin two times faster so reflected light would be seen in the telescope.
