摘要
In this paper, some analogies between the Shapiro effect in the solar gravitational field and the Sagnac phase shift: have been found. Starting from Einstein equivalence principle (EEP), which states the equivalence between the gravitational force and the pseudo-force experienced by an observer in a noninertial frame of reference, we imagine an observer on a rotating platform immersed in a gravitational field. In the Shapiro effect, for example, we know that the speed of an electromagnetic signal, calculated from the Earth, is less than c, but, if we calculate the speed using a clock at rest in the solar gravitational field, where the photon is passing, we get that the speed of light is c. Similarly, by considering the fictitious gravitational field of the rotating platform, if we look for a clock with respect to which the signal speed is c, we can interpret the time delay as a gravitational effect.
