special reletivity
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1Time dilationA difference in the elapsed time measured by two observers, either due to a velocity difference relative to each other.
- 2Length ContractionWhen a moving objects measured length is shorter than its length when it is not moving.
- 3RelativityThe dependence of various physical phenomena on relative motion of the observer and the observed objects, especially regarding the nature and behavior of light, space, time, and gravity.
- 4The speed of light is constant in a vacuum, no matter the motion of the source of the light or the motion of the receiver.The speed of light is constant in a vacuum, no matter the motion of the source of the light or the motion of the receiver.
