Problem
Calculate the phase shift ΔΦ when an optical beam with a wavelength λ0 goes through a glass plate with thickness h and
the index of refraction n that is moving along the beam with constant speed v relative to a case when the plate is stationary.
We are interested mainly about the first nonzero term of Taylor series of ΔΦ(v).
