Proper Length

The theory of special relativity explains the connection between space and time to objects that move in a straight line at a constant speed. The objects move at the speed of light. When an object approaches light speed, its mass is endless and cannot move faster than light. The most crucial postulate of Einstein's special relativity is that the laws of nature do not change in each frame of reference.

Electromagnetic radiation (known as Cherenkov
radiation) is emitted when a charged particle moves
through a medium faster then the local speed of
light. It should be stressed that the particle is never
going faster then the speed of light in vacuum (or
c), just faster than the speed of light in the material
(which is always less than c).
When a charged particle passes straight through a medium faster than the local speed of light, it will emit Cherenkov
radiation in a cone. Let's see how the cone angle is correlated to the speed of the particle.
Part A
If a particle is traveling straight through a material with index of refraction n at a speed v, what is the angle 0 between
the vector of the propagating Cherenkov radiation and the vector in the direction of the propagating particle?
Express your answer in terms of v, c, and n.

At relativistic speeds near that of light, the half-life of an unstable particle moving at high speed is longer than when it is at rest. O an object is longer when moving than when it is stationary. O light emitted by a moving source moves at the same speed with the same frequency. lengths and times only appear different, they are really just the same. O effects precede causes in some inertial frames.
been having some trouble with this problem: Michelson used rotating mirrors, similar to those shown below, to calculate the speed of light. Light is emitted from the light source, reflects from mirror surface X to the plane mirror, and then to the position of surface Z. By the time the light moves from the X to Z position, mirror surface X will have moved to the position of mirror surface Z. The light then continues to the observer. The distances from the light source and the observer to the rotating mirrors are negligible. The distance from the rotating mirrors to the plane mirror is 35.0 km.If the mirrors are rotating at 480 rev/s, the speed of light calculated from the given information is
