The theory of special relativity explains how space and time are linked for objects that are moving at a consistent speed in a straight line. This [course_title] builds beyond the introduction begun in the Physics course Mechanics I. The course provides an introduction to the physical principles (Lorentz invariance, the constancy of the speed of light, equivalence, of mass and energy) and the mathematical underpinnings (Minkowski spacetime, tensors), of the theory of special relativity.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
