TL;DR
This paper explores how light and objects appear to an observer in a uniformly accelerated frame, revealing curved light paths and visual distortions due to gravity-like effects in such a setting.
Contribution
It analyzes the optical appearances of spheres and light rays in a Rindler frame, providing insights into visual phenomena in accelerated reference frames.
Findings
Light rays form circular arcs in a uniformly accelerated frame.
A sphere appears distorted depending on its state of motion.
The paper derives how objects are perceived in a gravitational field equivalent.
Abstract
An observer at rest in a uniformly accelerated reference frame experiences a parallel gravitational field, where the rays of light are formed as circular arcs instead of being straight lines. We deduce how a sphere at rest in the Rindler frame, and a freely falling sphere, will appear to an observer at rest in the frame.
