Abstract: | This paper deals with the mirror rotation problem and the problem of rotation of refracting surface in ray optics. These two problems of rotation in ray optics have been dealt with on the basis of the generalized vectorial laws of reflection and refraction discovered by the author in 2005. In addition to the development of many interesting physical insights to the aforesaid rotation problems in ray optics, the most remarkable fact that has been discovered in the present study is that the proposition ‘Velocity of light is unattainable’ is not correct. Rather, it is possible to have velocity exceeding the velocity of light - a result not in agreement with the special theory of relativity. |
