Known as the Michelson and Morley experiment, this was an experiment to measure changes in the speed of light. Supposedly, as Earth travelled through the Ether, light would go faster in one direction than in the other (because of the relative velocities). The experiment didn't produce the expected result - the speed of light was found to be always the same. Today, this is an accepted fact - that the speed of light is the same for all observers - and is one of the bases for the Theory of Relativity.
Which experiment?
The photoelectric effect experiment conducted by Albert Einstein in 1905 provided strong evidence that light behaved like particles, later termed photons. This experiment demonstrated that light could transfer energy in discrete packets, or quanta, rather than as a continuous wave. Subsequent experiments, such as Compton scattering, further confirmed the particle-like behavior of light.
In a scientific experiment, a control is the part of the experiment that remains constant and is used as a baseline to compare against the experimental group. It helps researchers determine the effect of the variable being tested in the experiment.
True. In an experiment, a scientist formulates a hypothesis, designs the experiment, collects data, and then analyzes the results to draw conclusions. The outcome of the experiment is not known beforehand, and it is the results of the experiment that will either support or refute the hypothesis.
A. A. Michelson was not interested in measuring the speed of light.He only measured how it changes if you move toward the light, awayfrom it, or sideways. (It doesn't.)
