Question

Which of the following statements is not correct? O The measurement of the length of an object cannot yield a result greater than its proper length Two events whose space-time separation is space-like cannot be causally connected A proper time can be defined for any pair of space-time events O Proper time is the time interval between two events as measured in an inertial frame where both events occur at the same location. O If the proper time between two events is T, no measurement of the time interval between the two events by any other inertial observer can yield a result less than T O The proper length of an object is the length of an object as measured in an inertial frame in which it is at rest

Explanation / Answer

We are dealing in special theory of relativity,

(a) That is TRUE. in relative motion, length contraction can occur, but in no way it can get stretched

(b) That is Wrong, they can be casually connected as light moves less distance than separation.

(c) True.

(d) Wrong as not necessarily happen at same point

(e) True
