The relativistic formula is (approximately, for V>>1)

v/c= ((1-(0.511/V)2)1/2, V= number of millions of volts

Use the first terms of the binomial series to find 1-(v/c) in terms of V. Use your result to find 1-(v/c) for 

V=100 million volts

Expert Solution
Introduction:

Einstein gave special theory of relativity. It tells us or the statement of it is that speed of light is a constant and does not change for any oberver.

We are given the relativistic formula as

vc=1-0.511V21/2

Where V is number of millions of volts.

The quantity v/c is a dimensionless quantity. It is the ratio of speed of object to that of light.
