The GRE Subject Test in Physics assesses knowledge and understanding of undergraduate-level physics concepts and principles.
Special relativity, proposed by Einstein, transforms how we think about space and time, especially when objects move close to the speed of light.
GPS satellites correct for relativity to provide accurate positioning, and nuclear reactions demonstrate mass-energy conversion.
The famous \( E = mc^2 \) shows how mass can be converted directly into energy.
\[E = mc^2\]
Why GPS satellites need to adjust their clocks.
Energy released in nuclear power plants.
Special relativity explains surprising effects at high speeds and connects mass with energy.
