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

(i) What is the invariant interval between A and B?

(ii) Is there an inertial system in which they occur simultaneously? If so, find its velocity (magnitude and direction) relative to S.

(iii) Is there an inertial system in which they occur at the same point? If so, find its velocity relative to S.

(b) Repeat part (a) for A=(0,0,0), ct=1; and B=(5,0,0),ct=3 .

In the past, most experiments in particle physics involved stationary targets: one particle (usually a proton or an electron) was accelerated to a high energy E, and collided with a target particle at rest (Fig. 12.29a). Far higher relative energies are obtainable (with the same accelerator) if you accelerate both particles to energy E, and fire them at each other (Fig. 12.29b). Classically, the energy E¯of one particle, relative to the other, is just 4E(why?) . . . not much of a gain (only a factor of 4). But relativistically the gain can be enormous. Assuming the two particles have the same mass, m, show that

E=2E2mc2=mc2 (12.58)

FIGURE 12.29

Suppose you use protons (mc2=1GeV)with E=30GeV. What Edo you get? What multiple of E does this amount to? (1GeV=109electronvolts)[Because of this relativistic enhancement, most modern elementary particle experiments involve colliding beams, instead of fixed targets.]

Question: A stationary magnetic dipole,m=mz^ , is situated above an infinite uniform surface currentK=Kx^, (Fig. 12.44).

(a) Find the torque on the dipole, using Eq. 6.1.

(b) Suppose that the surface current consists of a uniform surface charge , moving at velocityv=vx^ , so that K=σv, and the magnetic dipole consists of a uniform line charge , circulating at speed (same ) around a square loop of side I , as shown, so thatm=λvl2 .Examine the same configuration from the point of view of system, moving S¯in the direction at speed . In S¯, the surface charge is at rest, so it generates no magnetic field. Show that in this frame the current loop carries an electric dipole moment, and calculate the resulting torque, using Eq. 4.4.
