Okay, so I'm at a loss for words to describe my irritation and curiosity on how this is solved. Given the one-dimensional wave equation (i.e. u_tt=c^2*u_xx 0<x<L, t>0) with no source and constant velocity, we define the energy associated with the wave to be E=integral from 0 to L of...

What is the amplitude of the wave produced by an object of resting mass m0 when it is going a velocity v? I haven't come across any information on the amplitude of de Broglie waves, and thus I assume that the amplitude of the wave is proportional to the Lorentz factor, m0/sqrt(1+v^2/c^2). Is...
