Consider a particle of mass in and charge q moving in a uniform constant magnetic field B in the z direction. (a) Prove that B can be written as B= V x A with A = 413 x r. Prove equivalently that in cylindrical polar coordinates, A = 1Bp b. (b) Write the Lagrangian (7.103) in cylindrical polar coordi

The factor y in the Doppler formula (15.64), which can be ascribed to time dilation, means that even when 0 = 90 there is a Doppler shift. (In classical physics there is no Doppler shift when 6 = 90 and the source has zero velocity in the direction of the observer.) This transverse Doppler shift is t
