Special+Relativity

Special Relativity:

The electric field and the magnetic field oscillates perpendicular to one another and the energy travels perpendicular to both those fields. (Imagine x vs y vs z)

Light is an electromagnetic oscillation. 1905 - Annus Mirabilis

March - the photoelectric effect April - Brownian Motion June - Special Relativity September - E = mc^2 (Equivalence of mass and energy)

2 postulates for Special Relativity

All laws of physics are the same in every inertial frame of reference The speed of Light in vacuum is the same in all inertial frames of reference and independent of the motion of the source
