38 talks C08028 Outreach

Here is your opportunity to experience, online, select content from Perimeter Institute's highly successful two-week International Summer School for Young Physicists (ISSYP). While we could reach up to 100 "young physicists" per year with our onsite ISSYP camps, our Virtual ISSYP opens up this fantastic learning experience for all to enjoy. The Virtual ISSYP is intended for students, teachers and anyone interested in learning more about the wonders of modern physics and the excitement of research and discovery at the frontiers of knowledge.

Special Relativity 6 - Doppler Shift for Light

Richard Epp - University of Waterloo

August 11, 2008 PIRSA:08080065

Deriving the Doppler shift for light, from which all of special relativity follows. Learning Outcomes: • Return to the thought experiment in SR-3.

Richard Epp - University of Waterloo

August 11, 2008 PIRSA:08080064

Einstein"s Relativity Principle applies to both mechanical and electromagnetic phenomena. Learning Outcomes: • Understanding Einstein's Relativity Principle: "Given any two inertial observers in uniform relative motion, both are equally entitled to consider themselves to be 'at rest'." • Einstein…
Special Relativity 4 - Einstein's Speed of Light Principle ("Principle 2")

Richard Epp - University of Waterloo

August 11, 2008 PIRSA:08080063

Repeating the experiment from SR-3 using light rather than sound, and understanding what Einstein assumed regarding the speed of light. Learning Outcomes: • How to draw a spacetime diagram that represents the sending and receiving of a light signal. • Understanding that Einstein's Speed of Light…
