Which statement best describes the difference between special relativity and general relativity?

a) Only the theory of general relativity includes gravity.

b) The theory of general relativity describes the behavior of subatomic particles.

c) The theory of special relativity applies only to very massive objects.

d) Only the theory of special relativity includes gravity.

Solutions

Expert Solution

here,

The General Theory of Relativity was Einstein's stupendous effort to remove the restriction on Special Relativity that no accelerations, be present,

so that he could apply his ideas to the gravitational force.

Thus, the General Theory of Relativity is a new theory of gravitation proposed in place of Newtonian gravitation

therefore, the statement best describes the difference between special relativity and general relativity is a) Only the theory of general relativity includes gravity.
