two events occur at the same place in a certain inertial frame and are separated by a time interval of 5 microseconds. What is the spatical separation ebtween these two events in an inertial frame in which the events are separated by a time interval of 13 microseconds?
I must admit i am a a bit stumped on this one
on one hand i think it has something to do with simultaneity. But then the frame which observes the longer time must be in motion.
one the other hand i think that perhaps that the distance between the first and the second observer is so large that the doppler effect of light comes into play. But i am not sure
please help, thank you
