The following diagram is of a setup consisting of
A bulb
A pair of wires...making an angle theta with the place the bulb lies in
now if the setup is seen by an observer moving at a speed 'v' relative
the angle the wires make with the plane changes to phi>theta(i can provide the equations to prove this if needed...i might hav gone wrong...but I've cheked it so far..)
Now to the observer moving relative to the setup...the wires make a different angle...so what does that observer see?
does he see the bulb giving off light..if he does..then from his point of view...there is no energy being provided ..so how does the bulb provide light...
