Target entity: Michelson–Morley experiment
Context triple: [George Francis FitzGerald, associatedWith, Michelson–Morley experiment]
  • A. Michelson–Morley experiment chosen
    The Michelson–Morley experiment was a landmark 1887 physics experiment that attempted to detect the Earth's motion through the hypothesized luminiferous aether and whose null result helped pave the way for Einstein's theory of special relativity.
  • B. Fizeau experiment
    The Fizeau experiment was a pioneering 19th-century physics experiment that measured the speed of light using a rotating toothed wheel and helped establish light’s finite velocity.
  • C. Ives–Stilwell experiment
    The Ives–Stilwell experiment is a classic test of special relativity that measured the relativistic Doppler effect to confirm time dilation for fast-moving ions.
  • D. Trouton–Noble experiment
    The Trouton–Noble experiment was an early 20th-century test of the luminiferous aether that searched for a torque on a charged capacitor in motion and, by finding no such effect, provided support for the emerging theory of special relativity.
  • E. Foucault experiment
    The Foucault experiment is a 19th-century optical test devised by Léon Foucault to measure the speed of light with high precision using a rotating mirror apparatus.
  • F. None of above.
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
