There are 6 summaries on Lorentz transformation.

Encyclopedia and Summary Information

Lorentz Transformations Summary
935 words, approx. 3 pages
The Lorentz transformations are a group of mathematical functions that are central to the special theory of relativity. They express the constancy of the speed of light in all frames of reference and the dependence of space and time measurements on the...

Lorentz Transformations Summary
671 words, approx. 2 pages
The Lorentz transformations are a group of equations that yield the geometry of special relativity. They are the basis of Einstein's special theory of relativity formulated in 1905. The Lorentz transformations are a form of the Galilean transformations...

Lorentz Transformations Summary
86 words, approx. 0 pages
Set of equations in relativity physics that relate the space and time coordinates of two systems moving at a constant speed relative to each other, developed in 1904 by Hendrik Antoon Lorentz. Required to describe phenomena approaching the speed of...
summary from source:
Lorentz-Fitzgerald Contraction Summary
76 words, approx. 0 pages
In relativity physics, the shortening of an object along the direction of its motion relative to an observer. Dimensions in other directions are not contracted. This concept was proposed by the Irish physicist George F. FitzGerald (1851–1901) in...

Lorentz transformation Summary
3,574 words, approx. 12 pages
In physics, the Lorentz transformation converts between two different observers' measurements of space and time, where one observer is in constant motion with respect to the other. In classical physics (Galilean relativity), the only conversion believed...
