Popis:	This article explores the differences between frame and coordinate transformations in relativistic theories. We highlight the key role of tetrad fields in connecting spacetime and frame indices. Using Maxwell's electrodynamics as an example, we show that Maxwell's equations are invariant under coordinate transformations but exhibit covariant behavior under frame transformations. We also analyze the energy-momentum of an electromagnetic field in different frames, providing deeper insights into the implications of different frames of reference and coordinate systems. Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure. A new reference has been added
