What did Albert A Michelson discover about light?
Michelson reasoned that, if the speed of light were constant with respect to the proposed ether through which Earth was moving, that motion could be detected by comparing the speed of light in the direction of Earth’s motion and the speed of light at right angles to Earth’s motion. No difference was found.
Why did Albert Michelson win the Nobel Prize?
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1907 was awarded to Albert Abraham Michelson “ for his optical precision instruments and the spectroscopic and metrological investigations carried out with their aid.”
