so the answer should be BG ? but...i tried it, still wrong?

on my book, "clocks moving relative to an observer are measured by that observer to run more slowly(as compared to clocks at rest) => time dilation" p.804 "the length of an object is measured to be shorter when it is moving relative to the observer than when it is at rest" p.809 my...

ok, for A) i really have no idea what it's talking about but B) shortest time in frame were object and observer are at rest, the rest is proper time indicator, so it's true C) proper lengh, it's mentioned in the book, that objects shrink if moving relative to an observer L0 => proper length...

for A) no clue B) true, C)true D)false E)true , on book F) true, on book G) tricky, because i don't know what he means by important,...no clue i tried different arrangements, and they were all falst: ABEF,BCEF,BCDEF.ABCEFG.ABCEF.BEF,BEFG, these are all wrong, panicing...

Which of the following statements are true? (Give the letters, i.e. ACD) A) One can calculate nonrelativistically when the kinetic energy of an object is large compared with the rest energy of the object. B) The proper time interval is the shortest time interval measured in an inertial...

i need a numeric answer, for the second question that I am posting, i did use a similar method, but my answer is still wrong

Interference question... One of the beams of an interferometer, as seen in the figure below, passes through a small glass container containing a cavity D = 1.19 cm deep. http://capa1.physics.sunysb.edu/CAPA/Pictures/gian2450.gif When a gas is allowed to slowly fill the container, a total...

need help with capa questions... Two polarizers are oriented at 35.7o to each other and plane-polarized light is incident on them. If only 11.9 percent of the light gets through both of them, what was the initial polarization direction of the incident light? White light containing...
