the length is increased by u. Thus we eventually come to the equation

(62)

from which we can see, that for the observer resting in O, the ray is reflected under the angle

(63)

From Fig. 14 the construction of the reflected ray according to formula (62) can be easily seen. For the construction it is advantageous to take the angle ψ supplementary to . By which ratio the angles ψ and φ are related, depends on the direction of the motion of the mirror relative to the light source. In the considered case , because ψ is related to the smaller perpendicular as parallel angle.

Now we can easily pass to Einstein's formulas. By (62) it is

or

(64)

Instead of the hyperbolic functions of the perpendiculars and , we introduce the spherical functions of the corresponding parallel angles, additionally we replace by and by this way we come to the formula of Einstein[1]

(65)

However, in the non-euclidean interpretation it will be completely replaced by the considerably simpler formulas (62) or (63).

By (51) and (62) we can construct, for the frequency of the reflected light rays, the formula
