Design three relativistic situations and describe the
relativistic variables (frame of reference, time dilation, length
contraction) using a drawing with clear labels and a brief
description. Include all necessary equations to describe the
situation.
Include as much detail as you can such as speed, time, and
position

How does the Doppler Effect prove that light travels at a
constant speed and is not affected by vector addition or by an
object moving to and fro?
Please give a very detailed reason. Thank you.
The Doppler effect - the shift in frequency/wavelength of a
sound source when there is relative motion between source &
observer - and a Sonic Boom - a conical region of compression that
forms around the sound source when its speed exceeds the speed of
sound in the medium of the source, and results in an observed
"boom" when part of the cone passes the observer's location - are
two interesting, common, as well as connected phenomena seen this
week....
