beta

Function beta 

Source
pub fn beta(speed: f64) -> Option<f64>
Expand description

Computes the dimensionless speed ratio β = v / c.

The speed input is treated as a magnitude in meters per second.

Returns None when speed is negative, not finite, greater than or equal to the speed of light, or when the computed ratio is not finite.

§Examples

use use_relativity::{SPEED_OF_LIGHT, beta};

assert_eq!(beta(SPEED_OF_LIGHT * 0.5), Some(0.5));
