We develop a relativistic treatment of interference between light reflected from a falling cube retroreflector in the vertical arm of an interferometer, and light in a reference beam in the horizontal arm. Coordinates that are nearly…
Although the equation of motion developed in the paper (Ashby 2018 Metrologia 55 1) depends on the parameters of the falling cube, such as depth and refraction index, the parameters are only associated with powers of time no greater than…
We have assessed the implications of the in-cube light propagation effect in absolute gravimeters, and found it contradictory to existing theoretical and experimental data. We maintain that the `effect' is a bias of the quadratic…
Relativistic treatment of the finite speed of light correction in absolute gravimeters, as evolved by Rothleitner and Francis in Metrologia 2011, 48 442-445, following the initial publication in Metrologia 2011, 48 187-195, leads to…
Correction due to finite speed of light is among the most inconsistent ones in absolute gravimetry. Formulas reported by different authors yield corrections scattered up to 8 $\mu$Gal with no obvious reasons. The problem, though noted…
In the article (Rothleitner and Francis 2011 Metrologia 48 187-195) the correction due to the finite speed of light in absolute gravimeters is analyzed from the viewpoint of special relativity. The relativistic concepts eventually lead to…
The paper (Rothleitner et al. 2014 Metrologia 51, L9) reports on the measurement of the speed-of-light perturbation in absolute gravimeters. The conclusion that the perturbation reaches only 2/3 of the commonly accepted value violates the…
We calculate the delay in the propagation of a light signal past a massive body that moves with speed v, under the assumption that the speed of propagation of the gravitational interaction c_g differs from that of light. Using the…
Precision absolute gravity measurements are growing in importance, especially in the context of the new definition of the kilogram. For the case of free-fall absolute gravimeters with a Michelson-type interferometer tracking the position of…
Recent review article by S. Samuel "On the speed of gravity and the Jupiter/Quasar measurement" published in the International Journal of Modern Physics D13, 1753 (2004) provides the reader with a misleading "theory" of the relativistic…
It is shown that the complete description of the propagation of light in a gravitational field and in non-inertial reference frames in general requires an average coordinate and an average proper velocity of light. The need for an average…
A consistent approach for an exhaustive solution of the problem of propagation of light rays in the field of gravitational waves emitted by a localized source of gravitational radiation is developed in the first post-Minkowskian and…
It was previously shown that models with deformations of special relativity that have an energy-dependent yet observer-independent speed of light suffer from nonlocal effects that are in conflict with observation to very high precision. In…
The influence of the relativistic motion of the reference frame on the light reflection law is investigated. The method is based on applying the relativistic aberration affect for three light signals: incident, normal and reflected rays.…
We endorse the comment on our recent paper [En{\ss}lin and Weig, Phys. Rev. E 82, 051112 (2010)] by Iatsenko, Stefanovska and McClintock [Phys. Rev. E 85 033101 (2012)] and we try to clarify the origin of the apparent controversy on two…
In this second article of the series, we apply our recently derived equation for the electric field propagation along light rays [arXiv:2004.03496], valid on the electromagnetic geometrical optics limit, to the special case of a toy…
Equations of light, propagating from quasar to observer on earth, are integrated in the time-dependent gravitational field of the solar system by making use of either retarded or advanced solutions of the Einstein field equations. This…
This paper completes and comments on some aspects of our previous publications. In ref [1], we have derived a set of space-time transformations referred to as the extended space-time transformations. These transformations, which assume the…
The fields used to describe the influence of masses and electric charges are generally accepted to propagate at the speed of light from their sources. To obtain these fields for a moving charge which are consistent with special relativity,…
We study whether the optical properties of a solid glass retroreflector influence the value of the acceleration of gravity $g$ determined by dropping both solid and open retroreflectors in an absolute ballistic gravimeter. The…
