Let us suppose now that the ether is at rest, and tliat the earth moves in the direction AC, so that the mirror A is carried to A', while the reflected light travels to… … Let V be the velocity of light, u the velocity of the Ciirth, D the distance AB or AC, T the time occupied by the ray in passing from A to C, and T' the time in returning from C to A'. Then, since C is moving with velocity u, we have vT = J) + uT, so thnt and the whole time is therefore T + T'-2D…
