摘要:
Using a Van de Graaff electrostatic generator and a linear accelerator, the speeds of electrons
with kinetic energies in the range 0.5–15 MeV are determined by measuring the time requiredfor the electrons to traverse a given distance. The measurements show the existence of a limiting
speed in accord with the results of special relativity. The kinetic energy, determined by calorimetry,verifies that an electric field exerts a force on a moving electron in its direction of motion
that is independent of its speed.
