Special Relativity

Beschreibung

Time dilation is demonstrated by two clocks — one stationary, one moving at high speed. The moving clock ticks slower. Length contraction shows a ruler shrinking along the direction of motion. The Lorentz factor γ diverges as v approaches c.

Special Relativity

Description

Time dilation is demonstrated by two clocks — one stationary, one moving at high speed. The moving clock ticks slower. Length contraction shows a ruler shrinking along the direction of motion. The Lorentz factor γ diverges as v approaches c.

Phases

# Phase Name Duration Description
1 Time Dilation Setup 2s Two clocks appear, v/c label shown
2 Clock Comparison 4s Stationary clock ticks faster; moving clock slower
3 Time Dilation Formula 2s Δt' = Δt / √(1 - v²/c²) displayed
4 Length Contraction 3s Ruler contracts in motion direction
5 Lorentz Factor 2.5s γ(v) graph showing divergence at v=c
