PPT-Relativity

Chapter 1 Modern physics is the study of the two great revolutions in physics relativity and quantum mechanics Galilean Relativity All inertial reference frames are equivalent Another way of stating this principle is that . Space and Time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein. . S2.1 Einstein’s Revolution. Our goals for learning. What are the major ideas of special relativity?. What is “relative” about relativity?. E. instein. Introduction. Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Germany.. He is widely known as the physicist who developed the theory of General relativity.. Einstein also expanded on general relativity and developed the theory of special relativity.. Geraint F. Lewis. Sydney Institute for Astronomy. School of Physics. University of Sydney. So far we have looked at the special theory of relativity, but today we will expand our understanding to incorporate gravity. . Galilean Transformations. x’. y’. P. v. x. y. x = x’ + vt. x’ = x - vt. Divide equations by t. u = u’ + v. u’ = u - v. u’. Example:. A train travels through a station at a constant speed of 8.0ms. Hubble’s Law: v = H. o. d. Velocity increases with distance. Expanding Universe. Hubble’s law .  Universe is expanding. Universe had a beginning !. How long ago?. Age of the universe: 1/H. By: Victor . Jeung. Postulates for Special Theory of Relativity. All laws of physics are valid in all inertial frame of references.. Light travels through space at a speed of c = 3.00 × 10. 8. m/s, relative to all inertial frames of reference. . Albert Einstein. A portion of Einstein’s fame came when he formulated Special Relativity.. He came up with this theory by simply performing thought experiments. He wondered what would happen if you travelled at the speed of light. He started with the most basic principles of physics and worked up from there….
