Abstract:
Modern researchers interpret a physical, homogeneous continual medium (gas, liquid, solid) as matter, filling space uniformly and three-dimensionally and possessing an ability to transmit perturbations (oscillations) with uniform speed. The properties of a medium define the propagation velocity of perturbations within it. Continual media possessing essentially different types of perturbation transmission are known. One of them is noted for transmitting perturbations along the line coincident with the direction of propagation. Another type of medium is capable of transmitting perturbations with the vector of displacement in the direction of propagation and with the vector of displacement oriented along the line normal to the direction of propagation. There is the third type of medium, in which the displacements have mutually orthogonal orientations with each other and to the direction of propagation. The first medium represents gas (liquid), the second - a solid body. The properties of the medium of the third type - ether (vacuum) - have not been fully determined as yet. It is known that ether is characterized by physical constants: velocity of wave propagation, dielectric constant and magnetic conductivity.
