The Doppler Effect from a Uniformly Moving Mirror (2004 or later) https://arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0409014.pdf In (1) the problem of a light reflecting from a mirror moving at constant v in the negative y direction is considered. The incident ray makes an angle AA with the y axis and the reflected, an angle BB with the y axis. Fermat’s principle is used i.e. the minimization of time moving from point A, reflecting from the moving mirror and moving to point B (with A and B being at the same y value). A relationship is found linking cos(BB) to cos(AA). In this note we try to argue that the same relationship follows ...
