ray velocity

Japanese: ray velocity(英語表記)rayvelocity
ray velocity

...In anisotropic crystals, even if the direction of light propagation is specified, two types of light exist with different speeds. In this case, the phase velocity given by the above formula for each type of light is different from the speed at which the energy of the light propagates. The phase velocity is called the normal velocity, and the energy propagation speed is called the ray velocity. Light [Akira Misu]
[Measuring the speed of light (Fizeau's experiment)]
Although the accuracy of the measurements was far from perfect, his experiment was groundbreaking in that it measured the speed of light using experimental equipment on Earth.

Japanese:

…また,異方性の結晶中では光の伝わる方向を指定しても異なる速さの2種の光が存在する。この場合,それぞれの光について上の式で与えられる位相速度は光のエネルギーが伝わる速さとは異なり,位相速度を法線速度,エネルギーの伝搬速度を光線速度ray velocityと呼ぶ。光【三須 明】

測定精度はけっしてよいとはいえないが,彼の実験は光速度を地上の実験装置で測定したという点で画期的なものであった。…
