1 Albert Einstein 1905

2 How Small is Small? How Fast is Fast?

3 Small => e.g. atomic size Fast => v~c c= the velocity of light

4 Our First Topic

5 v<c

6 Einstein s Postulates of Relativity: (Albert Einstein, 1905) Postulated in an attempt to explain the laws of Classical Electromagnetism (Maxwell s Equations, the constancy of the speed of light)

7 There are many-many experiments that prove the consequences of the two postulates of relativity and no experiments that disprove, so far,

8 Einstein s Postulates of Relativity: Michelson- Morley Experiment, light soucre, and the medium (Discussion sessions, see Appendix A) Definition of an Event Some Consequences of Einstein s Postulates: 1. Relative Simultaneity 2. Time Dilation 3. Length Contraction

9 1 st Postulate: The form of each physical law is the same in all inertial frames of reference INERTIAL FRAME =? The reference frame in which an object, experiencing zero net force a free object moves at constant velocity v = constant

10 2 nd Postulate: Light moves with the same speed (c) relative to all observers Anna measures: Speed of light = c? Bob measures: Speed of light = c and not v+c

13 Einstein s Postulates of Relativity: Light Souce, Medium and Michelson- Morley Experiment (Discussion sessions, see Appendix A) Definition of an Event Consequences of Einstein s Postulates: 1. Relative Simultaneity 2. Time Dilation 3. Length Contraction

14 Einstein s Postulates of Relativity: Light Souce, Medium and Michelson- Morley Experiment (Discussion sessions, see Appendix A) Definition of an Event Consequences of Einstein s Postulates: 1. Relative Simultaneity 2. Time Dilation 3. Length Contraction

15 Consequence 1: Relative Simultaneity, or The absence of absolute simultaneity Simultaneous Flash

16 Simultaneous Arrival => AN EVENT

17 Simultaneous Arrival The same EVENT For Bob as well!

18 2 nd Postulate THEN: Simultaneous Arrival AN EVENT For Bob as well! Simultaneous Emission is impossible for Bob

19 2 nd Postulate BUT THEN: Simultaneous Arrival AN EVENT For Bob as well! Simultaneous Emission is impossible for Bob

20 Both emission and arrival are simultaneous Arrival is simultaneous but EMISSION is not simultaneous

21 QUESTIONS?

22 Consequence 2: Time Dilation, or The absence of absolute time

23

24 The time for the light to return: t = 2H/c The time for the light to return: T > 2H/c Longer Path + 2 nd Postulate

25 PRECISELY => T = 2 L/c Longer Path (L) + 2 nd Postulate L 2 = H 2 + (v T/2) 2 t = 2H/c The time for the light to return : T > 2H/c L T = t (1 (v/c) 2 ) -1/2

26 Light Clock

27 Light Clock MUON

28 Consequence 3: Lorentz Length Contraction, or The absence of absolute distance L = L 0 (1 (v/c) 2 ) 1/2

29 Consequence 3: Lorentz Length Contraction, or The absence of absolute distance

31

32 WHAT IS WRONG IN THIS CARTOON?

33 There are many-many experiments that prove the consequences of the two postulates of relativity

34 Muon Lifetime Muons are created abundantly in elementary particle showers in the atmosphere, initiated by energetic cosmic rays (photons, particles and nuclei). Muons originate from decays of particles called pions (p) that are the primary products in these showers

35 Muon Lifetime Muon (m) is an elementary particle similar to electron, but heavier (will learn more in Chapter 11)

36 Muon Lifetime Atmosphere Cosmic Ray Neutrinos Particle shower Earth

37

38 CONCLUSION: According to Classical Physics, muons should not be able to reach the ground! BUT THEY DO

39 Consequence 3: Lorentz Length Contraction, or The absence of absolute distance L = L 0 (1 (v/c) 2 ) 1/2

46 The distance between the creation and detection points

47 Light Clock MUON

48 PRECISELY => T = 2 L/c Longer Path (L) + 2 nd Postulate L 2 = H 2 + (v T/2) 2 t = 2H/c The time for the light to return: T > 2H/c L T = t (1 (v/c) 2 ) -1/2

49 SUMMARY Einstein s Postulates of Relativity: Michelson- Morley Experiment NO AETHER! Consequences of Einstein s Postulates: 1. Relative Simultaneity 2. Time Dilation 3. Length Contraction

50 QUESTIONS

51 New Topics: 1. Twin Paradox 2. Lorentz Transformations 3. Examples

52 Viewed by Carl: - Bob moves towards right at v = c - Anna moves towards left, at v = c - Carl sends laser pulses towards Bob - Bob reflects those pulses towards Anna => What is the velocity of each laser pulse received by Anna, when measured by Anna?

53

54

55 IMPORTANT: space and time coordinates mix together! (Not the case in Classical Physics)

56 Another way of expressing the Lorentz Transformation Equations 4-vectors x x + y y + z z xx + yy + zz The LENGTH is not INVARIANT, i.e. it is not conserved under Lorentz transformations

57 4-dimensional LENGTH Is there anything that IS INVARIANT under Lorentz Transformations? x x + y y + z z xx + yy + zz x x + y y + z z (ct )(ct ) = xx + yy + zz (ct)(ct)

58 Another way of expressing the Lorentz Transformation Equations 4-vectors

61 Another Example: Energy-Momentum

62 Another Example:

63 In the Classical Limit?

64 Classical Limit : v << c

65 Classical Limit : v << c << 1

66 Classical Limit : v << c ~ 1 << 1

67 In the Classical Limit First case: v = 0, g = 1 ~1 ~0 ~1 ~0 ~1 ~0 ~1 ~0 x ~ x t ~ t

68 In the Classical Limit General case: v << c, g ~ 1 ~1 ~1 ~0 ~1 ~1 ~0 x ~ x vt t ~ t OK

83 NO (Lorentz) Length Contraction in directions other than along the direction of relative motion Lorentz Transformations NOTE that coordinates orthogonal to the direction of motion stay the same

84 Lorentz Transformations Relativistic velocity Transformations BUT ALL Components of the Velocity Vector Transform!

85 Lorentz Transformations Relativistic velocity Transformations BUT ALL Components of the Velocity Vector Transform! WHY?

86 Lorentz Transformations Relativistic velocity Transformations BUT ALL Components of the Velocity Vector Transform! WHY?

87 Because: The time transforms independently of the direction of motion, coordinates do not, and velocity combines both

98 ux = c ux = c uy = 0 uz = 0

99 Is there Absolute Causality? Might cause precede effect in one reference frame but effect precede cause in different reference frame(s)? e.g. can someone see you first die, and then see you get born? Benjamin Button
