Question

Which of the following statements are true concerning the Michelson-Morley experiment?

The Michelson-Morley experiment had a null result. Michelson and Morley concluded from the results of their experiment that the experiment was a failure. The Michelson-Morley experiment was designed to measure the relativistic energy of the electron. The Michelson-Morley experiment detected different speeds of light. The Michelson-Morley experiment was designed to measure the relativistic mass of the electron.

Explanation / Answer

1) The Michelson-Morley experiment had a null result (because the expected velocity relative to the aether was not observed)

2) Michelson and Morley concluded from the results of their experiment that the experiment was a failure (failed to detect the aether)
