A note: the relativistic transformations for the optical constants of media

TL;DR

This paper examines how optical constants such as permittivity, permeability, and refractive index transform under Lorentz transformations when media are in motion.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of relativistic transformations of optical constants, extending classical optics into relativistic regimes.

Findings

Derived explicit Lorentz transformation formulas for optical constants.

Clarified the behavior of optical properties in moving media.

Contributed to the theoretical understanding of relativistic optics.

Abstract

The Lorentz transformations for the optical constants (electric permittivity, magnetic permeability and index of refraction) of moving media are considered.
