Question:

In special relativity, light rays in Minkowski space- time M'1 travel along the light cone which, by definition, consists of all null directions associated with an indefinite quadratic form q(x) = xT Kx. Find and sketch a picture of the light cone when the coefficient matrix K is
a.
In special relativity, light rays in Minkowski space- time M'1

b.

In special relativity, light rays in Minkowski space- time M'1

c.

In special relativity, light rays in Minkowski space- time M'1

Remark: In the physical universe [41 ] , space-time is n = 4-dimensional, and
K = diag(l. - 1. -1, - 1).
