FTP, identify this 1887 experiment that used an interferometer and would ultimately disprove the existence of luminiferous ether.
Recent performances of it included one using cryogenic optical resonators and another performed by Charles Townes using a maser. The development of the Fizeau-Foucalt apparatus occurred before this experiment was performed but did not provide accurate enough measurements. Its results would lead to the development of the Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction and the data was collected by observing interference fringes. The experiment consisted of a device with a light source, a silver glass and two mirrors and attempted to show that light moved at different speeds in different directions.
