Notes | Pre-Relativity and Galilean Transformations -- Michelson-Morley Experiment and Velocity of Light -- Lorentz Transformations -- Mathematical Properties of Lorentz Transformations -- More mathematical Properties of Lorentz Transformations -- Geometrical Interpretation of spacetime -- Relativistic Velocity and Acceleration -- Four Dimensional World -- Mass in Relativity -- Relativistic Dynamics -- Photon in Relativity -- Relativistic Lagrangian and Hamiltonian -- Electrodynamics in Relativity -- Electromagnetic waves -- Relativistic Mechanics of Continua This textbook expounds the major topics in the special theory of relativity. It provides a detailed examination of the mathematical foundation of the special theory of relativity, relativistic mass, relativistic mechanics, and relativistic electrodynamics. As well as covariant formulation of relativistic mechanics and electrodynamics, the text discusses the relativistic effect on photons. A new chapter on electromagnetic waves as well as several new problems and examples have been included in the second edition of the book. Using the mathematical approach, the text offers graduate students a clear, concise view of the special theory of relativity. Organized into 15 chapters and two appendices, the content is presented in a logical order, and every topic has been dealt with in a simple and lucid manner. To aid understanding of the subject, the text provides numerous relevant worked-out examples in every chapter. The mathematical approach of the text helps students in theirindependent study and motivates them to research the topic further HTTP:URL=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-19-0497-4 |
