Question:

Surprisingly good astronomical mirrors can be constructed from a rotating dish of liquid mercury. Consider a ray of light incident on such a mirror at an arbitrary angle. Treat the mirror surface as locally flat but moving with a linear velocity v at the point of reflection. Show that, when observed in the lab frame, the reflected ray suffers no Doppler shift of its wavelength and no Doppler aberration of its angle of reflection.
