QUESTION:

(II) What is the minimum angular speed at which Michelson's eight-sided mirror would have had to rotate to reflect light into an observer's eye by succeeding mirror faces (Fig. 22-10)?

ANSWER:

Solution 14P

The distance light travels is 70 km = 70000 m roundtrip.

Speed of light = 3*108 m/s

The time taken for this is 70000 m / (3 * 108 m/s) = 2.33 * 10-4
