Lorentz factor

Math Formula Information

Formula: ${\displaystyle \gamma ={\frac {1}{\sqrt {1-\beta ^{2}}}}={\frac {1}{\sqrt {1-v^{2}/c^{2}}}}}$

Name: Lorentz factor

Description: factor 1∕√(1−𝑣²∕𝑐²) in special relativity expressing how much the measurements of time, length etc. change for a moving object

Elements of the Formula

Lorentz factor	${\displaystyle \gamma }$	factor 1∕√(1−𝑣²∕𝑐²) in special relativity expressing how much the measurements of time, length etc. change for a moving object
relative velocity	${\displaystyle v}$	velocity of an object or observer B in the rest frame of another object or observer A
speed of light in vacuum	${\displaystyle c}$	speed of electromagnetic waves in vacuum
relativistic beta	${\displaystyle \beta }$	in special relativity, the speed of an object relative to the speed of light
