[Physics] Arguments for or against the variable time

[Randy O. Wayne]

Dear Olivier,
You are right the refractive index appears twice in the formula and as a result it cancels out in the final formula. According to the Doppler theory, the fringe shift due to velocity depends only on the velocity. We were hoping to do the experiment with various refractive index media (methanol, xylene) but we don’t have the appropriate facilities…We hope others try varying the refractive index of the medium.  This would be a good test of the Doppler theory.
Thanks,
Randy

Hi Randy

Both Newtonian and Relativistic theories include refractive index ‘n’ in their formula (FS= 2LVn²/λc) ; Doppler theory not (FS= 2LV/λc).

With Doppler theory, it appears Fringe Shift would be THE SAME either we use water, or glass, or any other material in motion. How do you explain it ?

Thank you for your explanation
