8 Review Question 2 Molly flies her rocket past Nick at a constant velocity v. Molly and Nick both measure the time it takes the rocket from nose to tail, to pass Nick. Which of the following is true? A) Both Molly and Nick measure the same amount of time. B) Molly measures a shorter time interval than Nick. C) Nick measures a shorter time interval than Molly. Nick measures proper time because the nose passes Nick event and the tail passes Nick event happen at the same location (x 1 = x 2 ). Proper time is the smallest interval between the two events.

10 What is the Doppler Effect? In classical physics sound experiences a shift in pitch (frequency shift) when the sound source is moving relative to the observer.
11 What is the Doppler Effect? In classical physics sound experiences a shift in pitch (frequency shift) when the sound source is moving relative to the observer. Classic example: Police Siren appears to go up in pitch as it approaches you and down in pitch as it goes away.
12 Doppler Shift in frequency The source (S ) is moving relative to the observer (S). t = t + v t c sound additional time to travel to observer.

19 Does the same happen for light? The source (S ) is moving relative to the observer (S). Yes! But we must apply special relativity. t γ ν t f f = f (1 + v c 1 v2 c 2 γ ν cos θ) Assuming that the source is moving away/towards (not at an angle) this can be simplified (exercise for the student). away: f = f 1 v c 1+ v c towards: f = f 1+ v c 1 v c
20 Implications:
21 Implications: Classical Physics: - Light from a source moving away from an observer is redshifted. - Light from a source moving towards an observer is blueshifted.
22 Implications: Classical Physics: - Light from a source moving away from an observer is redshifted. - Light from a source moving towards an observer is blueshifted. Modern Physics: - All objects are redshifted because time moves more slowly (time dilation) for the moving source. The slowed movement lowers the light frequency. - Small effect which is outweighed by the movement of the source.

36 Notes: A modest speed of 0.15c = 4.5 x 10 7 m/s (~ 100 x 10 6 mph) causes a dramatic shift in the character of light. Although these high speeds are not so common in our daily life here on Earth, they are common in nature. The Doppler shift is an essential part of modern astrophysics.

49 Redshift Parameter We know there is a relationship between the velocity at which a celestial object moves away from us and the change in the wavelength of the light it emits. Astronomers use the redshift parameter (z) to describe this change in wavelength. z λ obs λ λ If z > 0 the object is receding.
50 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics From the nobel prize website: The Nobel Prize in Physics 2011 was awarded "for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe through observations of distant supernovae" with one half to Saul Perlmutter and the other half jointly to Brian P. Schmidt and Adam G. Riess. For more information:
51 Saul Perlmutter: SMU Honorary Degree Recipient (2010) Perlmutter was cofounder of the Supernova Cosmology Project which devised methods in 1988 to use distant supernova to measure the expansion of the universe. Schmidt and Reiss where leaders of the High-Z Supernova research team which also used distant supernova to measure the expansion of the universe.
52 Cosmic Distances LIDAR: Objects close to us (moon) can be measured using LIDAR. Basic idea - bounce light off an object using a laser. Measure the round trip time of light to travel and then calculate the distance.
53 Cosmic Distances Geometry: For objects further away (nearby stars), we use trigonometric Parallax (triangulation).
54 Cosmic Distances Standard Candle: An object of known brightness that can be seen from very far away. Analogy: Lightbulb If we have a 40 W lightbulb, we know that there is a relationship between the distance between how bright the lightbulb appears and how far away from the lightbulb we are. Type 1a Supernova: Standard Candles that can be seen from very large distances.
55 Supernova (type 1a) - Binary systems where 1 of the 2 stars is a white dwarf. - The companion accretes material onto the white dwarf until the mass of the white dwarf is 1.4 times that of our sun. - At this mass the white dwarf collapses under its own gravity.
56 Scan the sky over multiple nights, looking for light to appear that wasn t there before.
57 Light curve - Intensity Over a Period of Time
58 Opportunity The universe is constantly expanding. So, as the light from a supernova explosion travels to us, the spacetime underneath it is expanding. As this space-time expands, it changes the wavelength (or color) of the light. redshift z = λ λ
59 Opportunity So, the relationship between measured brightness of the supernova and the redshift of the supernova can tell us about the expansion of the universe.
60 Spectral Lines Atoms give off waves of a certain frequency. Each atom in the universe gives off a unique set of colors. This set of colors is known as spectral lines. Spectroscopy is the science of using spectral lines to figure out what atoms an object contains. This technique is used to determine the composition of distant stars.
61 How to Measure Redshift 1. Supernova are dying stars which are composed of elements. Measure the spectral lines of the elements. Spectral lines are like color signatures of atoms or elements. ( 2. Identify which spectral line was created by which element. 3. Measure the wavelength shift of any one of the lines w.r.t. its expected wavelength as measured in a laboratory on Earth. 4. Use a formula to relate the observed shift to the velocity of the object. z = λ λ = λ 0 λ E λ E

63 Transforming Velocity y y S v Recall, that frame S moves with a velocity v with respect to frame S. A Galilean Transformation gives us r Frame S: u = u + v x Frame S : u = u v S x
64 Transforming Velocity Remember: u = dx dt x = γ ν (x + vt ) t = γ ν ( v c 2 x + t )
65 Transforming Velocity Remember: u = dx dt x = γ ν (x + vt ) t = γ ν ( v c 2 x + t ) From this we can derive the following relations. (Exercise for the student). u = u + v and u = u v 1+ vu c 2 1 vu c 2

90 Energy Einstein sought an expression for the total energy of a body in motion. Starting with conservation of energy, he made some arguments about what must happen as a consequence of relativity. He also knew that the energy of a body MUST take the form E = constant mu2 What he found was E 2 =(mc 2 ) 2 +(pc) 2
91 Examine Energy Postulates tell us the laws of physics are invariant for observers in relative motion. Classically: E 1b + E 2b = E 1a + E 2a p 1b + p 2b = p 1a + p 2a E = E(0) mu2 p = mu Where energy comes to us from definition of work. W = Fdx = ( dp dt )dx = m( du dt )(udt) = mudu = C mu2
92 Generalize energy and momentum in order to deduce the correct relativistic form: p = M(u) E = E(u)
93 Generalize energy and momentum in order to deduce the correct relativistic form: p = M(u) E = E(u) M & E are unknown functions of the motion of the relative frames. We do know that E & p should approach their classical values as u approaches 0. lim u 0 M(u) =mu lim u 0 E(u) u 2 = 1 2 mu2
94 Momentum: We already saw that this is straight forward. p = M(u) =γ u mu
95 Momentum: We already saw that this is straight forward. Energy: p = M(u) =γ u mu More tricky due to the nonlinear dependence on velocity of the body in the frame (u 2 ).
96 Momentum: We already saw that this is straight forward. Energy: p = M(u) =γ u mu More tricky due to the nonlinear dependence on velocity of the body in the frame (u 2 ). Use Binomial Expansion for γ ν. γ u = u 2 c 2 + O(u4 )
97 Remember - we want something that as u approaches 0 gives γ u = u 2 c 2 + O(u4 ) E = E(u) constant mu2 c 2
98 Remember - we want something that as u approaches 0 gives γ u = u 2 c 2 + O(u4 ) E = E(u) Try γ u. constant mu2 c 2 E = γ u E(0)
99 Remember - we want something that as u approaches 0 gives γ u = u 2 c 2 + O(u4 ) E = E(u) Try γ u. constant mu2 c 2 E = γ u E(0) In the low velocity limit lim u 0 E(u) E(0) E(0)u2 c 2
100 Remember - we want something that as u approaches 0 gives γ u = u 2 c 2 + O(u4 ) E = E(u) Try γ u. constant mu2 c 2 E = γ u E(0) In the low velocity limit lim u 0 E(u) E(0) E(0)u2 c 2 Which leads us to conclude E(0) = mc 2
101 E = mc 2 for an object at rest. This is remarkable. It says that the total energy of a body at rest can be described by its mass. When energy is given off by an object, its mass decreases correspondingly by m = E c 2

E 2 = γ 2 ue(0) 2 = γ 2 u(mc 2 ) 2 = 1 1 u2 c 2 (mc 2 ) 2 E = γ u E(0) E(0) = mc 2 Use the Binomial Expansion of 1/(1-x 2 ) to expand (x = u/c).

115 As a final step, redefine E(u) E and then E 2 = m 2 c 4 + p 2 c 2 This equation describes the total energy of any inertial reference frame.
116 consequences If the object is stationary, this simplifies to E = mc2. - This implies that if you heat an object, (i.e. it gains internal energy through an increase in T, but NOT KE through motion), the mass of the object increases. What if the mass of an object is zero? Is that allowed? - When mass is zero, E = pc = γ umu. The only way the energy of such an object is non-zero is if u = c and γ u = infinity. Light is a massless particle. (Further discussions of momentum and energy of photons later in the course.)
