摘要:
Because of the finite speed of light, the photographic appearance of a relativistic body would not simply show a Lorentz contraction. In its simplest version, this effect provides exercises, accessible to undergraduates, that illustrate concepts of simultaneity and use of the Lorentz transformation. Transformation of light intensity also provides useful exercises and interesting results.
