Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the concept of time dilation in special relativity?
  • Step 1: Understand that time is not the same for everyone. It can change based on how fast you are moving.
  • Step 2: Imagine two people: one is standing still (the stationary observer) and the other is moving very fast (the moving object).
  • Step 3: The stationary observer sees the moving person's clock ticking slower than their own clock.
  • Step 4: This effect is called time dilation, meaning time stretches or dilates for the moving person compared to the stationary observer.
  • Step 5: The faster the moving person goes, the more noticeable the time difference becomes.
