METHOD OF VERIFYING NON-EFFECT OF EARTH'S ORBITAL MOVEMENT ON SPEED OF LIGHT

摘要

FIELD: physics. ^ SUBSTANCE: speed of traversing a given distance at different positions of the Earth on the orbit is measured using a single light pulse. The disclosed method of verifying the non-effect of the orbital movement of the Earth on the speed of light is characterised by that, a single light pulse is emitted multiple times on a closed basic loop (light guide), and the absence of the effect of orbital movement of the Earth on the speed of light is determined from the measured time difference for multiple traversing of the basic loop by the light pulse. ^ EFFECT: invention enables to verify one of the fundamental hypotheses of modern physics on invariance of the speed of light and determine its exact value used in modern metrology, specifically verifying the non-effect of the Earth's orbital movement on the speed of light. ^ 1 dwg
