... Lesson plan (frames) . ... 22b. Relativity . ... By Newton's laws, two frames of reference moving with constant velocity relative to each other observe exactly the same physical behavior. There exists no way to tell, which of them is moving and which one is at rest: there is no "absolute rest frame" and no "absolute (constant) velocity. ... But for a while it seemed that by certain subtle effects, electromagnetic forces could distinguish whether a frame was in motion of not. ...

We have designed the laboratory model of static Fourier spectrometer for onboard usage for spectral study of atmosphere and ionosphere. The gain of model is to simulate onboard FS which will not have any moving elements (all its optical elements will be mounted at fused quartz monolithic construction), to compare experimental results with theoretical estimations and to measure MTF of CCD array. ... This fact connected with low frequency response of CCD array due to small format of it. ...

... Energy . ... The free ions and electrons in a plasma behave the same way. Knowing the temperature of the high atmosphere of Earth, or that of the Sun, we can calculate energies expected of ions and electrons found there. However, ions and electrons actually observed in space are often much, much more energetic, and may move at a respectable fraction of the velocity of light (300,000 km/sec or 186,000 miles/sec). ...
