Concept explainers

Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

What do all waves do? Move a medium side to side. Cause energy to move from one place to another. Make people stand up and sit down, going around a stadium. Say good bye to people. What is the difference between Mechanical waves and Electromagnetic waves? Mechanical waves are all transverse waves like most Electromagnetic waves. Mechanical waves are all longitudinal waves like most Electromagnetic waves. Mechanical waves need a medium/material to move through, Electromagnetic waves don't need a medium/material to move through. Electromagnectic waves are all longitudinal waves like many Mechanical waves.
