Clock Mirror Relativity. This clock is very simple, consisting of only three parts: Between the mirrors we set off a strobe that emits a single brief pulse of light moving vertically. We present an introduction to special relativity kinematics stressing the part played by clocks synchronized following a procedure proposed. Imagine a clock that keeps time by reflecting a pulse of light back and forth between two mirrors; Two mirrors that are 100% reflecting and perfectly flat, and a photon that bounces back and forth between the mirrors, as depicted in figure 9.2. If the clock is moving relative to us, the light must go. This is called a light clock. A blob of light bouncing back and forth between two fixed mirrors. This light pulse then repeatedly bounces up and down between the mirrors. There are two devices that utilize photons to measure time differences (some kind of clock). Electromagnetic radiation) are beamed out at very close to the speed of light. It is a rod (meter stick) with a mirror at each end, and when we start a. The one we choose is rather a silly kind of clock, but it will work in principle: One tick of the clock is defined as contact between the light pulse and the lower mirror. In a radar system pulses of light (i.e.
If the beam hits an object some of it will be reflected back (as if from a. This light pulse then repeatedly bounces up and down between the mirrors.

The one we choose is rather a silly kind of clock, but it will work in principle: A blob of light bouncing back and forth between two fixed mirrors. An ideal clock can be imagined from a photon bouncing back and forth between two parallel mirrors.
