I discussed and reviewed the important Cherenkov effect and radiation in the previous post, here: http://www.thespectrumofriemannium.com/?p=3276 Today we are going to study a relatively new effect ( new experimentally speaking, because it was first detected when I was an undergraduate … Continue reading
The Doppler effect is a very important phenomenon both in classical wave motion and relativistic physics. For instance, nowadays it is used to the detect exoplanets and it has lots of applications in Astrophysics and Cosmology. Firstly, we remember the … Continue reading
In this entry, we are going to study a relativistic effect known as “stellar aberration”. From the known Lorentz transformations of velocities (inverse case), we get: The classical result (galilean addition of velocities) is … Continue reading
