Abstract
In optics interferometers are used for precision measurements. In interferometry two waves of light are superimposed to generate interference fringes. The interference pattern is observed and analyzed to measure physical process. Gustaf Wilhelm Hammar conducted an experiment in the year 1935 to test aether drag hypothesis. The null results of this experiment were interpreted in consistent with special theory of relativity. Hammar used common path interferometer and observed the changes in interference fringes due to motion of earth. The present work describes that when there is no aether and no medium drags the light in its direction of motion than what will be the behaviour of light.The analysis has been made according to classical mechanics keeping in view Huygen's principle by tracking the pathways of both the rays of light.It is established that speed of light is independent of velocity of any object,apparatus or any observer and there is no effect of motion of earth.The null results of Hoek's experiment and Hammar experiment are in consistent with classical mechanics.
