1. Consider the wave equation = Utt UrL = 0, u(t, x). (1) Ət² dx² , Given the (Lorentz) transform from t, x to tť', x': (t, x) → (ť', x') 1 ť = y(t – Bx), x' = y(x – ßt), (2) V1- 82" where B: real constant, 0 < 3 < 1, [better to use: u(t, x) = u(t(t', x'), x(t', x')) = u(t', x') instead of w(t', x') in the notation of the textbook]. a) Write the differential operators d/dt and d/əx interms of t' and x' using the Chain rule: 0/dt = (at' /Ət)(a/dt') + (dx' /Ət)(0/dx'), d/dx = (dt' /əx)(ð/dt') + (ða' / Əx)(0/dx'). b) Write this wave equation interms of the new variables t', x'. [You should conclude that this wave equation is covariant/invariant (not change its form) under this transform.]
