Explanations & Answer


  • β\small \beta is the ratio between the speed of the object to the speed of light: β=vc\small \beta = \large \frac{v}{c}
  • And the Lorentz factor is given as γ=11β2\small \gamma =\large \frac{1}{\sqrt {1-\beta^2}}
  • Then, its behavior is given as follows,



  • It is visible that the speed of the object approaches the speed of light, Lorentz factor approaches infinity
