2. Lorentz factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_factor

   Definition of the Lorentz factor γ. The Lorentz factor or Lorentz term (also known as the gamma factor [1]) is a dimensionless quantity expressing how much the measurements of time, length, and other physical properties change for an object while it moves. The expression appears in several equations in special relativity, and it arises in ...

   Derivation of Lorentz transformation using time dilation and length contraction Now substituting the length contraction result into the Galilean transformation (i.e. x = ℓ ), we have: x ′ γ = x − v t {\displaystyle {\frac {x'}{\gamma }}=x-vt}

5. Ultrarelativistic limit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrarelativistic_limit

   Below are few ultrarelativistic approximations when .The rapidity is denoted : ⁡ Motion with constant proper acceleration: d ≈ e aτ /(2a), where d is the distance traveled, a = dφ/dτ is proper acceleration (with aτ ≫ 1), τ is proper time, and travel starts at rest and without changing direction of acceleration (see proper acceleration for more details).

6. Covariant formulation of classical electromagnetism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariant_formulation_of...

   The covariant formulation of classical electromagnetism refers to ways of writing the laws of classical electromagnetism (in particular, Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force) in a form that is manifestly invariant under Lorentz transformations, in the formalism of special relativity using rectilinear inertial coordinate systems.

7. Derivations of the Lorentz transformations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivations_of_the_Lorentz...

   At any time after t = t′ = 0, xx′ is not zero, so dividing both sides of the equation by xx′ results in =, which is called the "Lorentz factor". When the transformation equations are required to satisfy the light signal equations in the form x = ct and x ′ = ct ′, by substituting the x and x'-values, the same technique produces the ...
