First appearance of this paper the first announcment of Fizeau's results of his experiments with the velocity of light."It the paper is less famous for some reason than the failure of Michelson and Morley to detect the aether drag but NO LESS SIGNIFICANT. For it showed that the velocity of light increases in a medium according to the formula v 1 - 1/n2 where v is the velocity of the medium and n is the refractive index"Gillespie in "The Edge of Objecticity" p. 427. Fizeau shows that the velocity of light is higher in water flowing in the direction of the beam than that of light propagating in the direction opposite the direction of flow. The paper offered is the shorter announcement of the research the paper in full was published later in 1859 in "Annales de Chimie et de Physique". Albert Einstein later pointed out the IMPORTENCE OF THE EXPERIMENT FOR SPECIAL RELATIVITY.Fizeau's result was replicated by Albert Michelson and Edward Morley in 1886 repeated the experiment on a larger scale and confirmed Fizeau's results. and in 1914 it was confirmed by Pieter Zeeman. It was Arago in 1838 who suggested this "crucial experiment" to decide between the corpuscular and undulatory theories of light by comparing the speed of light in water and in air. It vindicated the undulatory position.It was shown by Hendrik Lorentz 1892 1895 that the experiment can be explained by the reaction of the moving water upon the interfering waves without the need of any aether entrainment. On this occasion Lorentz introduced a different time coordinate for moving bodies within the aether the so called Local time an early form of the Lorentz transformation for small velocities compared to the speed of light. In 1895 Lorentz went a step further and explained the coefficient by local time alone and without mentioning any interaction of light and matter. unknown

First appearance of thispaper in which the authors demonstrated importent similarities between sound - and lightwaves and that interference takes place between rays of light of different wavelenghts thus giving considerably evidence for the wave theory of light."By analyzing the white light source into simpler constituents by means of a spectroscope Fizeau and Foucault were able to observe fringes produced by interfering light rays with a difference of travel equal to more than 7000 wavelenghts thus showing hat light waves like sound waves remain geometrically constant over a large number of periods. But light waves because of their transverse vibrations are more complex than sound waves. Light can assume different forms of planes of vibration as well as different intensities. Using the same spectroscopic apparatus as in the preceeding experiment Fizeau and Foucault observed the interaction of two rays produced by passing a single polarized ray through a birefringent crystal. In this case instead of obtaining alternating bands of light and dark they obtained bands of light periodcally polarized in different planes of vibration."DSB V p. 19. unknown

The periodical issue of Foucault's doctorial thesis in which he for the first time showed that light slows down in water thus giving experimental evidence for the undulatory theory of light."He.made use of his mirror method to measure the velocity of light through water and other transparent media. As long before as the time of Huygens and Newton it had been suggested that one way of settling the dispute as to whether light was a wave form or a stream of particles was by measuring its velocity in water. According to the wave theory light should slow down in water; according to the particle theory it should speed up. In 1853 showed that the velocity of light was less in water than in air a strong piece of evidence in favor of the wave theory. He presented this work as his doctoral thesis."Asimov. unknown
