Question

Which of the following arc basic postulates of special relativity? The laws of physics are the same in all reference frames. Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. No material object can be accelerated to the speed of light. The speed of light is the same for all observers. A spaceship traveling at constant velocity passes by Earth and later passes by Mars. In which frame of reference is the amount of time separating these two events the proper time? the Mars frame of reference the spaceship frame of reference the Earth frame of reference any inertial frame of reference Observer A sees a pendulum oscillating back and forth in a relativistic rocket and measures its period to be T_A. Observer B moves along with the rocket and measures the period of the pendulum to be T_B. What is true about these two time measurements? T_A > T_B T_A = T_B T_A

Explanation / Answer

Q(1) (A) The law of physics is same in all reference frames.

The laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of reference.

The speed of light in free space has the same value c in all inertial frames of reference.

The two postulate is the basis for special relativity is the one historically used by Einstein.
