Velocity Of Light

Scientific paper

A new method to study the one-way velocity of electromagnetic (e.m.) radiation is proposed which uses interferometric detection of microwaves. Time intervals of a fraction of the wave period (down to 10-14s) can thus be measured. A set of generalised space-time transformations between inertial systems (GT) is used, defined by: a) the two-way velocity of e.m. radiation is c in all inertial systems and in all directions; b) clock retardation by the usual relativistic factor exists at least with respect to one inertial frame. In these GT only the "synchronisation parameter" e1 is free. For some choice of e1 Lorentz transformations are obtained. GT with different e1 predict a different one way velocity of light. GT are nevertheless equivalent to one another in describing this experiment if time dilation in the source is taken into account. This result agrees with the conventional idea of the one-way velocity of light.
