- Homework Statement
- Object A travels past a point B at 0.5c and the distance is 1.3 light seconds to arrive at point C. When A passes point B a microwave is sent at point B towards point C, where an observer D who is travelling ahead of object A arrives at point C at the same time as the microwave.
Clocks at point B one at point C are synchronised.
Lorentz transform three events into into object A's frame and draw diagrams showing the three events from object A's frame.
- Relevant Equations
- x' = /gamma(x-Vt), t' = /gamma(t - Vx/c^2)
The three events;
t = 0s, x=0
t=1.3s, x=1.3 light seconds
t=2.6s, 1.3 light seconds
t = 0s, x=0
t=1.3s, x=1.3 light seconds
t=2.6s, 1.3 light seconds
