In 1868 he performed a modified version of the Fizeau experiment.

This coefficient was directly demonstrated by the Fizeau experiment (1851).

The Fizeau experiment (1851) indicated only a partial entrainment of light.

However, other experiments like the Fizeau experiment and the effect of aberration disproved that model.

By that, he could explain the aberration of light and the result of the Fizeau experiment.

This experiment is a more precise variation of the famous Fizeau experiment (1851).

And referring to the Fizeau experiment, he even wrote: "The ether is all but in our grasp."

Fresnel's dragging coefficient was directly confirmed by the Fizeau experiment and its repetitions.

The Fizeau experiment was one of the key experimental results that shaped Einstein's thinking about relativity.

See Fizeau experiment.

If such experiments are conducted in moving media, it is also necessary to consider Fresnel's dragging coefficient as demonstrated by the Fizeau experiment.

With this concept Lorentz could explain the Doppler effect, the aberration of light, and the Fizeau experiment.

As shown in the Fizeau experiment, when light is transmitted through a moving medium, its speed relative to a stationary observer is:

When light propagates in fibre optic cable, the setup is effectively a combination of a Sagnac experiment and the Fizeau experiment.

The Fizeau experiment was carried out by Hippolyte Fizeau in 1851 to measure the relative speeds of light in moving water.

To check Fresnel's theory again, Michelson and Edward Morley (1886) performed a repetition of the Fizeau experiment.

Eventually, Fresnel's idea of an (almost) stationary aether was preferred because it appeared to be confirmed by the Fizeau experiment (1851) and the aberration of light.

Robert S. Shankland reported some conversations with Einstein, in which Einstein emphasized the importance of the Fizeau experiment:

As shown by Max von Laue (1907), special relativity predicts the result of the Fizeau experiment from the velocity addition theorem without any need for an aether.

The Sagnac topology was actually first described by Michelson in 1886, who employed an even-reflection variant of this interferometer in a repetition of the Fizeau experiment.

For a moving particulate body, light moving through the body's structure is known to move faster in the direction of the body's motion than it does in the opposite direction (Fizeau experiment).

While Fresnel's almost stationary theory was apparently confirmed by the Fizeau experiment (1851), Stokes' theory was apparently confirmed by the Michelson-Morley experiment (1881, 1887).

The Fizeau experiment and its 1886 repetition by Michelson and Morley apparently confirmed the stationary aether with partial aether dragging, and refuted complete aether dragging.

Fresnel's theory was preferred because his dragging coefficient was confirmed by the Fizeau experiment of Hippolyte Fizeau in 1851, who measured the speed of light in moving liquids.

The Fizeau experiment (1851, repeated by Michelson and Morley in 1886) measured the speed of light in moving media, with results that are consistent with relativistic addition of colinear velocities.
