Inertial system S moves at constant velocity v=⳦(³¦´Ç²õÏ•x^+²õ¾±²ÔÏ•y^)with respect to S. Their axes are parallel to one other, and their origins coincide at data-custom-editor="chemistry" t=t=0, as usual. Find the Lorentz transformation matrix A.

Short Answer

The Lorentz transformation matrix is:

γ-γ⳦´Ç²õÏ•-γβ²õ¾±²ÔÏ•0-γ⳦´Ç²õϕγcos2Ï•+sin2ϕγ-1²õ¾±²ÔÏ•³¦´Ç²õÏ•0-γβ²õ¾±²Ôϕγ-1²õ¾±²ÔÏ•³¦´Ç²õϕγsin2Ï•+cos2Ï•00001

Step by step solution

01

Principle of Lorentz transformation

Lorentz Information is an important part of physisc sthat deals with the linear tranformations from a specific co-ordinate frame in space-time to a non-static frame, having a constant velocity with a respect to the former.

02

Find XY in terms of xy by using equation (1.29)

Consider the matrix is:

AyAz=cosϕsinϕ-sinϕcosϕAyAz

If we take Axas X and Ayas Y Axand as x Ayand as y:

localid="1658826300610" X=cosÏ•³æ+sinÏ•²â.....iY=-sinÏ•³æ+cosÏ•²â...ii

03

Using Lorentz-transform from equation (12.18) to get X Y in terms of xy

X=γX-vt...iiiY=Y...ivZ=Z...vt=γt-vc2X...vi

Now, from putting the value of equation (i) in equation (iii):

X=γX-vt=γcosÏ•³æ+sinÏ•²â-⳦t....vii

Equating equation (iv) with (ii) we get:

Y¯=Y=-sinÏ•³æ+cosÏ•²â

By further calculation of equation (vi):

t=γt-vc2X

Multiplying both sides with, c:

role="math" localid="1658829796222" ct=³¦Î³t-vc2Xor,ct=³¦Î³t-vcγ³Ýor,ct=³¦Î³t-βγ³Ýor,ct=γ(ct-β³Ý)....viii

Putting the value from equation (i) to (viii):

ct=γ(ct-β³Ý)ct=γct-β(cosÏ•³æ+sinÏ•²â)....ix

04

Determination of Lorentz transformation matrix

To get the Lorenz matrix, we have to rotate from to by using the equation (1.29) with negative and putting the respectives values from the above equations. We get

Therefore,

x=³¦´Ç²õÏ•X-²õ¾±²ÔÏ•Y=㳦´Ç²õÏ•cosÏ•³æ+sinÏ•²â-⳦t-²õ¾±²ÔÏ•-sinÏ•³æ+cosÏ•²â=㳦´Ç²õ2Ï•+sin2Ï•x+(γ-1)²õ¾±²ÔÏ•³¦´Ç²õÏ•²â-γ⳦osÏ•ct....x

And,

y=²õ¾±²ÔÏ•X+³¦´Ç²õÏ•Y=γ²õ¾±²ÔÏ•[cosÏ•³æ+sinÏ•²â-⳦t]+³¦´Ç²õÏ•[-sinÏ•³æ+cosÏ•²â]=(γ²õ¾±²Ô2Ï•+cos2Ï•)y+(γ-1)²õ¾±²ÔÏ•³¦´Ç²õÏ•³æ-γβ²õ¾±²ÔÏ•(ct)........xi

By convention (x) and (xi) into matrix form:

ctxyz=γ-γ⳦osÏ•-γβ²õ¾±²ÔÏ•0-γ⳦osϕ㳦´Ç²õ2Ï•+sin2ϕγ-1²õ¾±²ÔÏ•³¦´Ç²õÏ•0-γβ²õ¾±²Ôϕγ-1²õ¾±²ÔÏ•³¦´Ç²õϕγ²õ¾±²Ô2Ï•+cos2Ï•00001ctxyz
