A generic rule to derive relativistic equations
Scientific paper
We show that the transformation equation for the tardyon velocity involves two generic functions which in turn depend on the relative velocity of the involved reference frames, on the tardyon velocity u and on the polar angle which define the direction along which the tardyon moves. The same functions are further involved in the transformation equations for the space-time coordinates of the same event generated by a moving tardyon and for its relativistic mass, momentum and energy. Taking the limits of these functions for u approaching c we obtain exactly the transformation equations for the space-time coordinates of the same event generated by a photon and for its momentum and energy. The same procedure works also for the transition from a plane acoustic wave to an electromagnetic wave.
