← ScienceWhich mechanism causes an aircraft navigation system's bias due to Earth rotation?
A)Sagnac effect✓
B)Doppler shift
C)Pound-Rebka experiment
D)Lorentz transformation
💡 Explanation
The Sagnac effect generates interference patterns correlated to rotation because light circumnavigating an enclosed area experiences a path length difference related to rotation, thus influencing navigation; therefore, it biases positional accuracy rather than Doppler induced frequency shifts.
