Physics 71 Spring 2017 Prof. Anlage Review Special Relativity Inertial vs. non-inertial reference frames Galilean relativity: Galilean transformation for relative motion along the xx xx direction: xx = VVVV + xx and the inverse transformation: xx = xx VVVV yy = yy yy = yy zz = zz zz = zz tt = tt tt = tt vv = vv VV. Michelson-Morley experiment no evidence for an ether that acted as the medium for the propagation of light. Einstein s postulates: 1) If S is an inertial reference frame and if a second frame S moves with constant velocity relative to S, then S is also an inertial reference frame. 2) The speed of light (in vacuum) has the same value c in every direction in all inertial reference frames. Time dilation: tt = γγ tt, where γγ = 1/ 1 ββ 2, and ββ = VV/cc. Length contraction: l = l 0 /γγ, where l 0 is the proper length of an object. Lorentz transformation for relative motion along the xx xx direction: xx = γγ(xx VVVV), yy = yy, zz = zz, tt = γγ(tt xxxx/cc 2 ), and the inverse transformation: xx = γγ(xx + VVVV ), yy = yy, zz = zz, tt = γγ(tt + xx VV/cc 2 ).

Sharp emission lines eevv arise from quantized energy levels in the core shells of atoms. Bragg reflection of x-rays from layers of atoms in crystals: nnnn = 2dd sin θθ, where nn = 1, 2,,, dd is the spacing between the parallel layers.
