Abstract
Transformation equations for physical quantities that characterize plane electromagnetic wave propagation in transparent optical media are presented. The Doppler effect, and measurements performed by an observer moving with the wave are also considered. The results, not mentioned in introductory Physics textbooks, are simple to derive and could be used in undergraduate courses.
