Exam (elaborations) TEST BANK FOR An Introduction to Modern Astrophysics By Carroll B.W. and Ostlie D.A. (Solution manual) CHAPTER 1 The Celestial Sphere 1.1 From Fig. 1.7, Earth makes S=P˚ orbits about the Sun during the time required for another planet to make S=P orbits. If that other planet is a superior planet then Earth must make one extra trip around the Sun to overtake it, hence S P˚ D S P C 1: Similarly, for an inferior planet, that planet must make the extra trip, or S ...

Modern Physics [Serway, Moses, Moyer] Notes on Chapter 1 - Special Relativity

Theory of relativity

The Special Theory of Relativity, formulated by Albert Einstein in 1905, revolutionized our understanding of space and time. It posits two fundamental principles: the constancy of the speed of light and the principle of relativity, stating that the laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion. This theory introduces the concept of time dilation, where time slows down for objects in motion relative to a stationary observer. It also explains the famous equation E=mc^2, linking ...
