Or Universe is abot 10 Billion Years old 5

6 Cosmologial Redshift & Disovery of the Expanding Universe: [ Spae itself is Expanding ] New Rles of Coordinate Transformation Needed The Galilean/Newtonian rles of transformation old not handles frames of refs or objets traveling fast V C (like v = 0.1 or 0.8 or 1.0) Einstein s postlates led to Destrtion of onept of simltaneity ( t t ) Moving loks rn slower Moving rods shrink Lets formalize this in terms of general rles of oordinate transformation : Lorentz Transformation Reall the Galilean transformation rles x = (x-vt) t = t These rles that work ok for ferraris now mst be modified for roket ships with v 6

7 Disovering The Corret Transformation Rle x' = x vt gess x' = G( x vt) x = x' + vt' gess x = G( x' + vt' ) Need to figre ot the fntional form of G!0 G mst be dimensionless G does not depend on x,y,z,t Bt G depends on v/ G mst be symmetri in veloity v As v/ 0, G 1 Gessing The Lorentz Transformation Do a Thoght Experiment : Wath Roket Moving along x axis Roket in S (x,y,z,t ) frame moving with veloity v w.r.t observer on frame S (x,y,z,t) Flashblb monted on roket emits plse of light at the instant origins of S,S oinide That instant orresponds to t = t = 0. Light travels as a spherial wave, origin is at O,O Speed of light is for both observers: Postlate of SR Examine a point P (at distane r from O and r from O ) on the Spherial Wavefront The distane to point P from O : r = t The distane to point P from O : r = t Clearly t and t mst be different t t 7

8 Disovering Lorentz Transfromation for (x,y,z,t) Motion is along x-x axis, so y, z nhanged y =y, z = z Examine points x or x where spherial wave rosses the horizontal axes: x = r, x =r x = t = G( x' + vt') x' = t' = G( x - vt), G t' = ( x- vt) x = t = G( t ' + vt ') = v ( vt) + vt = G [ v ] or G = 1 1 ( v / ) = γ t G t t x' = γ ( x vt) x' = γ ( x vt), x= γ ( x' + vt') x = γγ ( ( x vt) + vt ') x γ x + γ vt = γ vt ' x γ x γ vt x x t' = + = γ + t γv γv γv γ v v x 1 1 v t' = γ t+ 1, sine 1 = v γ γ x v t ' = γ vx t + [1 1 γ = t v Lorentz Transformation Between Ref Frames x' = γ ( x vt) y' = y y = y ' z' = z z = z ' t' Lorentz Transformation = γ t vx Inverse Lorentz Transformation x= γ ( x' + vt') t = γ t ' + vx ' As v 0, Galilean Transformation is reovered, as per reqirement Notie : SPACE and TIME Coordinates mixed p!!! 8

9 Not jst Spae, Not jst Time New Word, new onept! SPACETIME Lorentz Transform for Pair of Events S S rler x x 1 x X Can nderstand Simltaneity, Length ontration & Time dilation formlae from this Time dilation: Blb in S frame trned on at t 1 & off at t : What t did S measre? two events or at same plae in S frame => x= 0 t = γ t ( t = proper time) Length Contration: Rler measred in S between x 1 & x : What x did S measre? two ends measred at same time in S frame => t = 0 x = γ ( x + 0 ) => x = x / γ ( x = proper length) 9

10 Lorentz Veloity Transformation Rle S S and S are measring ant s speed along x, y, z axes S v In S' frame, ' ' ' 1 x' = = ' ' ' t t1 dt ' v dx = γ ( dx vdt), dt ' = γ ( dt dx) dx vdt x' =, divide by dt' v dt dx x v x' = vx 1 For v <<, = v (Galilean Trans. Restored) x' x x dx x Veloity Transformation Perpendilar to S-S motion v dy ' = dy, dt ' = γ ( dt dx) ' dy ' dy y = = dy ' v γ ( dt dx) divide by dt on RHS ' y y = v γ (1 ) x There is a hange in veloity in the diretion to S-S' motion! Similarly Z omponent of Ant' s veloity transforms as ' z z = γ v (1 ) x 10

11 Inverse Lorentz Veloity Transformation Inverse Veloity Transform: x' + v x = vx' 1+ ' y y = v ' γ (1+ ) x ' z z = v ' γ ( 1+ ) x As sal, replae v -v Does Lorentz Transform work? Two rokets travel in opposite diretions An observer on earth (S) measres speeds = 0.75 And 0.85 for A & B respetively What does A measre as B s speed? Plae an imaginary S frame on Roket A v = 0.75 relative to Earth Observer S Consistent with Speial Theory of Relativity 11

12 Example of Inverse veloity Transform Biker moves with speed = 0.8 past stationary observer Throws a ball forward with speed = 0.7 What does stationary observer see as veloity of ball? Speed of ball relative to stationary observer X? Plae S frame on biker Biker sees ball speed X =0.7 Hollywood Yarns! 1

13 Terminator : Can yo be seen to be born before yor mother? A frame of Ref where seqene of events is REVERSED?!! S S I take off from SD 1 1 ' ' 1 1 I arrive in SF ' ' ' ' v x t' t t1 γ t = = Reversing seqene of even ts t ' < 0 I Cant be seen to arrive in SF before I take off from SD S S 1 1 ' ' 1 1 v x γ For what vale of v an t ' < 0 ' ' t' = t t1 = t ' ' v x v x v t' < 0 t < 1 < = t v > v> : Not allowed 13
