Special Relativity 2 - Spacetime Diagrams for Sound Travelling in Air Speaker(s): Richard Epp
Abstract: Drawing spacetime diagrams of simple thought experiments involving sound in air as a warm up exercise for light in vacuum.
Learning Outcomes: • Deepening our understanding of how to draw and interpret spacetime diagrams. • Measuring space and time in the same units – a first step towards unifying space and time into “spacetime.” • Why, for an observer at rest with respect to still air, the speed of sound is independent of the motion of the source of sound.
