Chapter 36, Problem 71GP

A spacecraft (reference frame S′) moves past Earth (reference frame S) at velocity v , which points along the x and x′ axes. The spacecraft emits a light beam (speed c) along its y′ axis as shown in Fig. 36–17. (a) What angle θ does this light beam make with the x axis in the Earth’s reference frame? (b) Use velocity transformations to show that the light moves with speed c also in the Earth’s reference frame. (с) Compare these relativistic results to what you would have obtained classically (Galilean transformations).

Part A m 2πkT ) 3/2 Calculate the integral (v) = f vƒ (v)dv. The function f(v) describing the actual distribution of molecular speeds is called the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, = ƒ(v) = 4π (· v²e-mv²/2kT . (Hint: Make the change of variable v² =x and use the tabulated integral foxne integer and a is a positive constant.)
