Implementation of the Fizeau aether drag experiment for an Undergraduate Physics Laboratory

This work presents the description and implementation of the historically significant Fizeau aether drag experiment in an undergraduate physics laboratory setting. The implementation is optimized to be inexpensive and reproducible in laboratories that aim to educate students in experimental physics. A detailed list of materials, experimental setup, and procedures is given. Additionally, a laboratory manual, preparatory materials, and solutions are included..
