bernhard.rothenstein said:What nakurusil does not understand is that my intention was to show that
p=gp'(1+V/u') (1)
E=gE'(1+Vu'/cc) (2)
in the case of a tardyon
and
p=gp'(1+V/c) (3)
E=gE'(1+V/c) (4)
in the case of a photon could be an illustrations of the fact that the formula which accounts for an effect generated by a photon can be obtained from the corresponding formula that accounts for a simillar effect generated by a tardyon by simply replacing u=u'=c.
...and everybody that answered to you said that you shouldn't attempt that since it is incorrect. We also tried to correct you by showing how you can get the right derivation starting from:
[tex]p=\gamma(p'+\beta E'/c)[/tex]
by using [tex]E=p'c[/tex]
I did not find in the literature an explicit mentioning of the fact that the functions (1+V/u') and (1+Vu'/cc) have the same limit for u' going to c.
...and this is for good reason, no self-respecting book would show such an incorrect approach, two or three of us tried to explain this to you.
