Another thought experiment in special relativity
Aleksandar Gjurchinovski
We present a simple thought experiment in which a beam of light of a finite length (a light-pulse) enters a detection device that consists of a wave detector and a light bulb. We e…
The Doppler effect from a uniformly moving mirror
Aleksandar Gjurchinovski
The formula for the frequency shift of a plane-polarized light wave reflected from a uniformly moving mirror is derived directly from the constant light speed postulate and the bas…
Relativistic aberration of light as a corollary of relativity of simultaneity
Aleksandar Gjurchinovski
A new derivation of the relativistic aberration formula for a plane-polarized light wave is presented that does not require any use of the Lorentz transformation. The method is bas…
Polarization Measurements - A Numerical Approach
Aleksandar Gjurchinovski
We developed a specific numerical fitting procedure, based on the least squares method, to calculate the parameters of the polarization ellipse by only using a single polarizer and…
