This Resource help-sheet for Special Relativity covers the following concepts for a non-calculus course: Special Relativity: time and motionframes of reference and inertial frames of referencethe two postulates of special relativity motion can only be measured relative to an observer simultaneity Special Relativity: length, momentum and energy the consequences of the constant speed of light in a vacuum, e.g. time dilation and length contraction time dilation, proper time interval, relativistic

This Resource help-sheet for Quantum Theory covers the following concepts for a non-calculus course: · Young’s double slit experiment provides evidence for the wave model of light · Black-body radiation and evidence that electromagnetic radiation is quantised into discrete values · Photons · Problems involving the energy, frequency and wavelength of a photon · Photoelectric effect in terms of the photon · Threshold frequency, Planck’s constant and work function · Problems involving the pho
