Relativistic Energy and Momentum

According to classical physics, time flow is the same for every observer. But according to einstein's theory, time flow is different for different observers. The idea that time flow is not the same for all may sound strange because we may not experience this effect in everyday life. This effect is only observed when an object moves with some velocity comparable to the velocity of light. This velocity is termed relativistic velocity.

Speed of light in a moving medium. The motion of a medium such as water influences the speed of light. This effect was first observed by Fizeau in 1851. Consider a light beam passing through a horizontal column of water moving with a speed v. (a) Show that if the beam travels in the same direction as the flow of water, the speed of light measured in the laboratory frame is given by where n is the index of refraction of the water. (Hint: Use the inverse Lorentz velocity transformation and note that the speed of light with respect to the moving frame is given by c/n.) (b) Show that for v << c, the preceding expression is in good agreement with Fizeau’s experimental result: This proves that the Lorentz velocity transformation and not the Galilean velocity transformation is correct for light.
