Abstract

The Fizeau experiment is discussed as a concrete example for investigating wave propagation in isotropic chiral media. Exact special relativistic formalism is used throughout, first order approximations are developed from the exact forms. To measure the velocity effects from the interference fringes one has to adequately modify the construction of the original Fizeau experiment. A relativistically exact model for first order in velocity was developed giving a relatively simple formalism and enabling an easy solution to propagation and scattering of electromagnetic waves in the presence of moving chiral media.
