Course Description
This course describes the theory of relativity, essentially as it was formulated by Einstein and presents some physical phenomena that appear in temporal succession who have made an impact in the advancement of physics. Whose objectives were to reconcile the kinematics as we saw in the introduction to this course, the Galilean relativity is not directly compatible with electromagnetism as it was formulated by Maxwell.
The first step is to understand the inconsistencies between electromagnetism and classical kinematics, and rebuild a completely new kinematics, which leads to start by a few brief reminders Galilean or Newtonian kinematics and show its shortcomings and corrected them by the Lorentz transformations and after connect by explaining to students some physical phenomena such as the photoelectric effect and the Compton effect and lead them to know the property of duality wave-particle and finally end up by teaching them the atomic model and an introduction to quantum theory.
