Special Theory of Relativity

The Physics credentials document competencies in areas related to mechanics, materials, gasses and liquids, heating and cooling, acoustics, optics, electricity, and magnetism, radiation and nuclear physics, architecture, and a variety of related research and education areas. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to explain physics concepts by applying knowledge and solving problems related to the Special Theory of Relativity including simultaneity, space-time and time dilation, addition of velocities, length contraction, relativistic momentum, the mass-energy equivalence equation, and the Correspondence Principle.
