electromagnetism - Proof that four-vector potential is a valid four vector


The definition of $ A^{\mu}$ that I've been given is as an object created from the scalar field $\phi$ and the vector field $\vec{A}$ i.e:


$$ A^{\mu} = (\phi,\frac{\vec{A}}{c}) $$ [in cgs units]


How do I formally prove that this is in fact a valid four vector, and not some jumble of objects?



(The Proof that four-potential is a four-vector question does not answer this - it posits some strange specific case.)

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
