A spaceship travels faster than light to the nearest star and turns around and returns home at the same speed, i.e., t(A) = 0, x(A) = 0, and t(B) > 0, x(B) = 0. Draw this trajectory on a world line diagram. Is there a reference frame where the traveler arrives before they left, i.e., t(B) < t(A)?

The primary difference between infrared and visible light is that infrared travels faster than visible light. they have different amplitudes. infrared does not have a magnetic field associated with its electric field. they have different wavelengths. no materials currently known have the ability to reflect infrared.

As per in the title. If it turns out that neutrinos do travel faster than the speed of light, how will the success of special relativity be explained? My apologies if this has been asked before; I've just browsed through few questions, and I couldn't find one that matches (although it was slightly touched on in one answer). Thanks.

An astronaut travels to a planet 10 light years away and then returns. The rocket has a velocity of 0.999c. One light-year = 9.5 × 1015 m. For an observer on Earth, how many years are required for the round trip? Two significant digits in the answer is fine. (5 pts) For an astronaut on the rocket, how many days are required for the round trip? (5 pts) An extremely fast 100 m long train passes through a 100 m...

Star X is known to be 30.0 light years away and is 6.50 times larger than the Sun. You observe that its spectrum peaks at a wavelength of 350 nm. Assume it emits as a blackbody. The Sun has a surface temperature of 5770K. a) What is the surface temperature of Star X? (K) b) What is the ratio of power (luminosity) radiated by Star to that of the Sun? c) Derive an expression for the intensity of light, I,...
