special relativity - Why shift in fringe is expected in Michelson Morley Experiment?


When I (beginner) learnt Michelson Morley experiment, it was expected that there should be a shift in the fringe pattern when the setup was rotated by 90 deg if the presence of ether is true. But why should there be a shift in fringe after the setup was rotated, assuming the presence of ether?
