A beam of light that traveled parallel to the aether would take longer than the beam that traveled perpendicularly to the aether. Waves had to have some medium to travel through.

Suppose we want to cool our hot coffee to 100°F as quickly as possible (sooner than 10 minutes). Suppose also that we have 1 ounce of cold milk with a temperature of 40°F that we can add to the 8 ounces of your coffee at any time. We will try to answer the question: When should we add the milk to cool the coffee to 100°F as quickly as possible? 8. We need to make an assumption about the effect of cold milk on the temperature of the coffee. A reasonable assumption is that when milk is added to coffee, the temperature of the coffee immediately decreases to the average of the coffee temperature and the milk temperature, where the average is weighted by the volumes, illustrated in the figure on the right. Milk is added -150 New temperature of coffee (10, 100) 400 -50 As you can see on the graph, adding the milk immediately changes the coffee's temperature. So if we add 1 ounce of milk with temperature Tm to 8 ounces of coffee with temperature T, the…arrow_forwardPlease answer the questions with complete and detailed solution.
