A unique idea which was considered in special theory of relativity was Correct Answer Speed of light will be constant for all frames of reference 

CONCEPT:

  • In the special theory of relativity, there are few unique ideas that completely change our understanding of physics. A few of the postulates or rules are as follows.
  • According to the Theory of Special Relativity:
  1. The Laws of physics remain the same for all observers who are non-accelerating (i.e. not in motion).
  2. The speed of light in the vacuum is completely independent of the observer's motion.
  3. No particle which carries energy and has a mass that can travel at the speed of light.
  4. And the most amazing idea is that perception of time will change in every frame of reference.

EXPLANATION:

  • There are many unique ideas in the special theory of relativity.
  • The one about the speed of light is
    • The speed of light in the vacuum is completely independent of the observer's motion.
    • It means the speed of light will always be constant for all frames of reference.
  • So, the correct answer will be option 2.
