A Wave-centric View of Special Relativity

Classical Physics 2013-05-15 v1

Abstract

An approach to special relativity is outlined which emphasizes the wave and field mechanisms which physically produce the relativistic effects, with the goal of making them seem more natural to students by connecting more explicitly with prior studies of waves and oscillators.
