About this Item
Description:
Q. Majorana, "On the Second Postulate of the Theory of Relativity: Experimental Demonstration of the Constancy of the Velocity of Light Reflected from a Moving Mirror" in The Philosophical Magazine, February 1918, London, 6th series, volume 35, pp 163-174 in the full issue of pp[141]-220. This is the full monthly issue extracted from a larger bound volume. [++] Majorana's results via direct experimental demonstration show that even a moving reflector does not change the velocity of light agreeing wit the second postulate of relativity (the speed of light in a vacuum is a constant for all observers, regardless of their relative motion or the motion of the light source). This paper would also appear a few months later in the 1 May 1918 issue of The Physical Review. Seller Inventory # ABE-1764521852846
