Abstract
Light travels in a moving medium through densities that differ from the density of that medium at rest. This study derives a formula for the velocity of light through a moving medium for any direction of light propagation that, applied to the Fizeau experiment, gives a fringe shift of 0.23541. The Fresnel drag coefficient applied to the Fizeau experiment offers a fringe shift of 0.20466. The mean of 0.23016 for the fringe shift observations in the Fizeau experiment confirms both expectations.
