I Review I Constants 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. • View Available Hint(s) Π Αφ ? Submit Request Answer

3 A spaceship (A) is moving at speed c/2 with respect to another spaceship (B). Observers in A and B set their clocks so that an event at (x, y, z, t) of a photon arriving has coordinates (0, 0, 0, 0) in A and also (0, 0, 0, 0) in B. A second photon arrives at (x = 1.00 m, 0, 0, 0 s) in the frame of ship A. (a) Find the coordinates and time of the second photon arriving as seen by an observer in frame B. (b) In which frame are the two events simultaneous and in which frame are they are not simultaneous

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
