What is CamScanner?

CamScanner is a mobile app that allows users to scan documents, photos, business cards, and other paper-based materials into digital formats.

How does CamScanner work?

CamScanner uses your device's camera to capture images of documents and then processes them to remove shadows, adjust brightness, and enhance clarity.

What are some of the editing features in CamScanner?

CamScanner offers features like cropping, rotating, and adjusting the document's perspective to ensure the scanned image is clear and accurate.

How can I save my scanned document using CamScanner?

Once a document is scanned and processed, CamScanner allows you to save it in a variety of formats, including PDF, JPG, and Word.

Study Notes

Relativity

  • Albert Einstein published a paper in 1905, outlining two postulates about moving bodies, also known as the postulates of special relativity.

Frame of Reference

  • A frame of reference is a point in space where an observer observes an event. Examples include the ground, a bus, or an airplane.

Types of Frames

  • Inertial frames: These frames move at constant velocities relative to each other. They do not accelerate.
  • Non-inertial frames: These frames move with changing velocities. They accelerate.

Postulates of Special Relativity

  • Principle of Relativity: The laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames. For example, if you drop a ball on the ground, it falls vertically downwards. If you drop the ball inside an aeroplane moving at constant speed, it also falls vertically downwards.
  • Principle of Invariant Light Speed: The speed of light in free space has the same value for all observers, regardless of their state of motion. This value is a universal constant.

Implications of Special Relativity

  • Time Dilation: Time appears to pass more slowly for an object moving at high speeds compared to a stationary observer.
  • Length Contraction: Objects appear to shorten in the direction of motion when moving at high speeds relative to a stationary observer.

Relativity in mass

  • The mass of an object increases when traveling at relativistic speeds. The higher the speed, the greater the increase in mass relative to its rest mass.

Problems

  • Multiple problems are presented on various aspects of special relativity, involving calculations related to time dilation, length contraction, and relativistic mass. Specific values for velocities, speeds, initial conditions, and other variables are given in each problem.
