| The '''Fizeau–Foucault apparatus''' (1850) (Figure 1) was designed by the [[France|French]] [[physics|physicists]] [[Hippolyte Fizeau]] and [[Léon Foucault]] for measuring the [[speed of light]]. The apparatus involves [[light]] reflecting off a [[rotation|rotating]] [[mirror]], toward a stationary mirror some 20 miles (35 kilometers) away. As the rotating mirror will have moved slightly in the time it takes for the light to bounce off the stationary mirror (and return to the rotating mirror), it will thus be deflected away from the original source, by a small angle.<ref name=Baierlein> | |

If the mirror rotates at a known constant angular rate <math>\omega</math>, the angle ''θ'' is swept in the same time as the light roundtrip, so: | |

Absestos Treatment in London
If you have asbestos that really needs to be eliminated then you definitely have to contact one of the most skilled business that London has to offer. The simple truth is that asbestos is most harmful when it is cracking, failing, or elsewhere being changed. This is obviously not really a job for any frequent Joe to try and execute. A professional firm can come to trigger the removal so when they are doing so they really will soon be donning the correct breathing device to help make the occupation secure along with the people around it protected also. The asbestos is then removed and damaged in a secure method.
While you is able to see there are lots of reasons that you might want to acquire gone asbestos sooner than later. The content, while in one piece, does not symbolize a lot of a security danger nevertheless the time it's changed it may become a problem. Do not wait till it becomes a challenge, once you know that asbestos is in your house--get it out!
