Welcome to the Relativity Lab web page. Here you will find information to aid you in your experiment and analysis. Here is a brief description of what you will find at our site:

Background Information: This page provides a bit of history surrounding the development of special relativity, and mainly focuses on the Michelson and Morely experiment.

Labview Instructions: The interface of the Labview program that we designed is described in detail. Labview is a program that interfaces with the oscilloscope and captures the data you will use for this lab. A brief description of oscilloscope operation is included as well.

Data and Error Analysis: Sources of error introduced by the oscilloscope and data filtering are discussed in this section.

References: A list of articles that might prove helpful come write-up time.
