چکیده

We present a simple calculation of the Lorentz transformation of the spectral distribution of blackbody radiation at temperature T. Here we emphasize that T is the temperature in the blackbody rest frame and does not change. We thus avoid the confused and confusing question of how temperature transforms. We show by explicit calculation that at zero temperature the spectral distribution is invariant. At finite temperature we find the well-known result familiar in discussions of the 2.7 K cosmic radiation.

From the Lorentz Transformation Group in Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces to Bi-gyrogroups

‎The Lorentz transformation of order $(m=1,n)$‎, ‎$ninNb$‎, ‎is the well-known ‎Lorentz transformation of special relativity theory‎. ‎It is a transformation of time-space coordinates of the ‎pseudo-Euclidean space $Rb^{m=1,n}$ of one time dimension and ‎$n$ space dimensions ($n=3$ in physical applications)‎. ‎A Lorentz transformation without rotations is called a {it boost}‎. ‎Commonly‎, ‎the ...

Perfect blackbody radiation from a graphene nanostructure with application to high-temperature spectral emissivity measurements.

We report the successful fabrication of a novel type of blackbody material based on a graphene nanostructure. We demonstrate that the graphene nanostructure not only shows a low reflectance comparable to that of a carbon nanotube array but also shows an extremely high heat resistance at temperatures greater than 2500 K. The graphene nanostructure, which has an emissivity higher than 0.99 over a...

Lorentz-transformation and Galileo- transformation windows

We define Lorentz-transformation windows as windows that change the direction of transmitted light rays like a Lorentz transformation. Similarly, Galileo-transformation windows change the direction of transmitted light rays like a Galileo transformation. This light-ray-direction change distorts the scene seen through such a window in the same way in which the scene would be distorted in a photo...

Lorentz Transformations and Statistical Mechanics

In [Gottlieb (1998)] and [Gottlieb (2000)] we launched a study of Lorentz transformations. We find that every Lorentz transformation can be expressed as an exponential e where F is a skew symmetric operator with respect to the Minkowski metric 〈 , 〉 of form −+++. We provided F with the notation of electromagnetism. Thus we can describe boosts as pure ~ E fields and rotations as pure ~ B fields....

Transformation for the energy flux of the electromagnetic wave

The quantum mechanical model of electromagnetic waves is considered, in which the photon, as a particle, propagates with the speed of light, while the wave function of the photon spreads out with an infinite speed. The Lorentz transformation for the energy flux of electromagnetic wave is obtained while assuming the Galilei transformation for the space and time. The energy of the electromagnetic...
