The tutorial starts with an introduction to Relativistic Transformation of Velocity and the Relativistic Doppler Effect and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific physics lesson as required to build your physics knowledge of Relativistic Transformation of Velocity and the Relativistic Doppler Effect. you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.
In this Physics tutorial, you will learn:
So far, we have discussed a number of new concepts that are applied in relativistic events. These concepts are very helpful in finding a relationship between the velocities of particles measured in different inertial frames of reference. Certainly, we must find the same value for the speed of light in all inertial systems considered. This element will act as a touchstone for the accuracy of this new theory.
We will see in this tutorial that in relativistic events, we cannot use anymore the classical formulae for velocity. In addition, we will recall the Doppler Effect of light waves discussed in tutorial 12.7 (The Doppler Effect) but now applying a relativistic approach. Obviously, the findings when using these two approaches must be the same.
