Yes they do, they propagate along the path because the light goes from source to detector only, there is no reflected wave. Of course in the original construction they moved along straight lines between the mirros rather than round the circumference and Jerry's diagram is closer to the modern fibre implementation, but you can view it as showing a build with the light moving at grazing incidence round the inside of a cylindrical mirror. > This wave does NOT move unless the mass moves in x. > http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/SHO/damp.html > The idiot Wilson just mumbles "irrelevant" because he's stupid.

In the inertial frame a peak on the blue wave moves a distance of (c+v)/f in the period of the source. The source itself move v/f, both measured along the circumference. A second peak is therefore emitted c/f behind the first and therefter travels at the same speed so the waves are that constant distance apart, that is the wavelength. For Jerry's animation lambda = circumference / 9.5 in both directions. Hit the pause button when the two waves coincide and you can see they are the same as they should be. George

Yes, I know.

The fact : that the waves are in phase at the detector is easy : to see as they move along the black radial line : together.

Jeery's water waves are nonsense. All you have is an inertial trace where a photon has been.

What you have is this: http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Sagnac/Sagnac2.JPG at any point around the path. We engineers call that a beat frequency but you and Wilson can call it a long enveloping wavelength if you like.

(Androcles' third law). http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/rephoton.gif : there : is no reflected wave. Of course in the original : construction they moved along straight lines between : the mirros rather than round the circumference and : Jerry's diagram is closer to the modern fibre : implementation, That's what I said, Jeery has a FOG, not a Sagnac. It is much easier to implement a FOG, Grandpa can take a back seat now that his work is done. The Sagnac effect is the Coriolis effect. : but you can view it as showing a : build with the light moving at grazing incidence : round the inside of a cylindrical mirror. It is easier to view the Coriolis effect from Grandpa's position, the kids on the roundabout might think Newton's laws were not obeyed and day dream of time dilation idiocy, claming the velocity is c in all frame of reference which they say are stationary. : : > This wave does NOT move unless the mass moves in x. : > http://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/SHO/damp.html : > The idiot Wilson just mumbles "irrelevant" because he's stupid. : : I don't see the relevance either, in Sagnac's : construction you have two simple point-to-point : one way paths.

In the inertial frame a peak on the blue : wave moves a distance of (c+v)/f in the period : of the source. That peak becomes a trough by the time it has got halfway there. A new peak appears brought into existence by the peak fairy. As with Wilson, you don't believe the arithmetic if it's counter to your theory, and you don't believe the arithmetic if it agrees with your theory. It is worse than that, you will refuse to measure the wavelength because you know the value refutes your claim that the speed is c in all stationary frames of reference (stationary is the ancient term for inertial). The source itself move (non-inertials, use the moder term) v/f, Yeah, but the photon non-inertials faster. You need a trace to show how the source non-inertials from where it was to where it is. : both : measured along the circumference. A second peak : is therefore emitted c/f behind the first We've no idea when the next photon is emitted. It could be a nanosecond later or a year later. You are an aetherialist, I'm sure of it. Have you been talking to Glowbar? and : therefter travels at the same speed so the : waves are that constant distance apart, that : is the wavelength. For Jerry's animation : : lambda = circumference / 9.5 Can't be, the red ray non-inertials 144 degrees and the blue ray non-inertials 216 degrees. lamba 1 <> lambda2. Perhaps Jeery non-inertialled the reference point. : : in both directions. Hit the pause button when : the two waves coincide and you can see they : are the same as they should be. I did, the red ray non-inertials 144 degrees and the blue ray non-inertials 216 degrees. lambda 1 <> lambda2. Perhaps Jeery non-inertialled the reference point.

The physics is the same, it is the ring laser gyro that differs.

No, you misunderstand Jerry's plot, it shows the fields versus distance along the circumference at a single instant, it isn't a historical trace. > The position of the > photon at any TIME is inertial (the modern term for stationary) Think of the photon as the magenta dot, or imagine a radial line from the circumference to the magenta dot as a voltage sample that moves round the path at ballistic speed. Incidentally, can you see that replacing the sine wave source with a random noise generator would still have the signals arriving at the detector "in phase", in other words the same sample value arrives from both directions at the same time. > : > : > >If you take a snapshot at any instant, there will > : > : > >be 50000 waves between the CURRENT locations of > : > : > >the source and the detector, the same number on > : > : > >both paths therefore the signals must arrive in > : > : > >phase because they were emitted in phase. > : > : > > : > : > >The location where the light was emitted doesn't > : > : > >help you calculate the arrival phase, your approach > : > : > >to the maths is flawed. > : > : > > : > : > the math is simple. > : > : > Path lengths are different.

Photons, peaks and troughs move at (c+v)/f according to ballistic theory so peaks and troughs are [(c+v)/f] - [c/f] or c/f apart, that is why Henry says the wavelength is "absolute", it has the same value regardless of the speed of the source. > : both > : measured along the circumference.

There are vast numbers emitted in every period, I am talking about the macroscopic aggregate of their effect which is classically described as the electric and magnetic fields. It is peaks of the voltage detected with an array of antennas round the table that move at (c+v) and a distance of c/f apart. > It could be > a nanosecond later or a year later.
