- W4385201922 abstract "Ancient notions of light, the origin of vision, and the nature of “rays” of light are described including examples from ancient Greek and early Islamic philosophers. Alongside the theories for the nature of light are questions about light’s speed and mechanism of transmission, including the notion of the “aether” for propagation of light. The first efforts to measure the speed of light, beginning with Roemer, Galileo, and culminating in the sophisticated experiments in the nineteenth century by Fizeau and Michelson are described. New measurements of the astronomical unit, made possible from the Venus transit of 1769, enabled the larger scale distances of the solar system to be measured accurately for the first time, along with increasing precision for the speed of light. Early theories of the nature of light from Newton, Faraday and Maxwell are described, including prevailing explanations for how light travelled through space. The nature of light and the corresponding predicted properties of the “aether” needed to transmit light are described, along with the efforts of Albert Michelson to detect the presence of aether from the famous Michelson-Morley experiment." @default.
