For an x-ray tube at constant voltage I know that the maximum energy Bremsstrahlung x-ray that can be produced is directly related to the voltage on the tube. But what about the minimum energy? Is there a limit, or can all energies below the maximum be produced? I realize that adding a...

Ahh, so if I understand correctly you're saying: The photon was emitted a bit sooner for the runner, just enough sooner to make the runner's c=(3.0*10^8 m/s)? If so, it's starting to make sense now, I always thought simultaneity was some separate concept not directly related to the...

Hi everyone! This is my first post so I hope I’m following all the correct rules and such. I am a second year Physics major and I’m having a bit of trouble with special relativity. I don’t have much trouble with doing homework problems, but I always stump myself when trying to understand SR for...
