Strange Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 What implications do the relative velocity of photons have ? What do you mean? If you mean the fact that the speed of light is invariant, the the implication is the theory of special relativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Not enough information to proceed. "Relative velocity" can simply mean a difference in direction. You need to clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrushka.googol Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Is the fact that light is a transverse wave a result of the fact that all photons travel with the same speed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 What implications do the relative velocity of photons have ? This is a very open ended question. Basically, it means that you can use light as a 'probe of the causal structure of space-time'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
