Abstract
A general first-order formula is derived for the Fresnel-drag effect in a uniformly moving medium with a plane surface. The two classical equations due to Lorentz and Laub are shown to be special cases corresponding to different experimental arrangements. The recent experiment of Bilger and Zavodny on Fresnel drag in a ring laser is discussed. © 1974 The American Physical Society.
