Relativistic transformations of light power

  • 1. Department of Physics, Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan 48063

Description

Using a photon-counting technique, we find the angular distribution of emitted and detected power and the total radiated power of an arbitrary moving source. We compare these expressions to the incorrect or incomplete expressions previously reported. We use the technique to verify the predicted effect of the earth's motion through the cosmic blackbody radiation
