Question

Write lorenz transformation.

Answer 1

solution

According to special theory of relativity when a frame S in which a point P(x, y, z, t) and another frame S' is which constant velocity v then coordintes of point in this frame according to lorenz transformation can be expressed as

$x'=\gamma(x-vt)$

$y'=y$

$z'=z$

$t'=\gamma(t-\frac{vx}{c^2})$
