38 time space diagram
The spacetime diagram is a tool to help us visualize Lorentz transformations and multiple events in different reference frames. 2 One Reference Frame Figure 1: Traditional view of x-position vs. time of object mov-ing at the speed of light. In PHYS211, we often visualized motion in one di-mension by plotting the x coordinate on the ver- The time-space diagram is a graph that describes the relationship between the location The following diagram is an example of a time-space diagram. Time-space diagrams are created by plotting the position of each vehicle, given as a distance from a reference point, against time. The first vehicle will probably start at The space-time diagram above shows particles with different velocities. Because the speed of light is special in relativity, space-time diagrams are often drawn in units of seconds and light-seconds, or years and light-years, so a unit slope [45 degree angle] corresponds to the speed of light.
