Abstract
The treatment of light as a classical-particle necessitates the four dimensional Lorentz transformation equations of special relativity. However, the treatment of light as a classicalelectromagnetic wave results in the Galilean-invariance of its speed. Thus, the classical properties of electromagnetic waves are consistent with the null-results of the Michelson Morley experiment, without recourse to a four-dimensional analysis.
