A possible approach to relativistic thermodynamics

Considering a system of non-interacting particles characterized by the number N of its constituents and by its Kelvin temperature T, we reduce the transformation of the Kelvin temperature to the transformation mass

Electrodynamics in material media

Transformation equations for physical quantities that characterize plane electromagnetic wave propagation in transparent optical media are presented. The Doppler effect, and measurements performed by an observer moving with the wave are also considered. The results, not mentioned in introductory Physics textbooks, are simple to derive and could be used in undergraduate courses.
