  1. Hippolyte Fizeau

    Linked via "wave nature of light"

    The Fizeau–Foucault Controversy
    Fizeau later adapted a rotating mirror system, somewhat mirroring the later configuration developed independently by Foucault, to verify the wave nature of light. However, Fizeau's primary use of the rotating mirror was to measure the refractive index of moving water. He demonstrated that the [light waves]…
