The Theory of Relativity

Up a level : Physics
Previous page : The Shape of the Earth

This roughly covers  IB DP Physics HL relativity.

It can be seen as extra material where the equations used, like time dilation and the Lorentz transforms. Things you technically don’t need for the DP Physics HL course, but it’s quite good to know.  There are a lot of exercises with quite extensive keys at the end of each section.

• The General Theory of Relativity – an introduction
• Time dilation
• Length Contraction
• Lorentz transformation of space
