Maxwell's Equations in a Uniformly Rotating Dielectric Medium and the Wilson-Wilson Experiment
arXiv:1104.0574 · doi:10.1119/1.3456566
Abstract
This note offers a conceptually straightforward and efficient way to formulate and solve problems in the electromagnetics of moving media based on a representation of Maxwell's equations in terms of differential forms on spacetime together with junction conditions at moving interfaces. This framework is used to address a number of issues that have been discussed recently in this journal about the theoretical description underlying the interpretation of the Wilson-Wilson experiment.
