Homework Statement
It is not ordinary problem, it is connected to it. I don't understand a figure and how is described. The problem is here http://www.pmaweb.caltech.edu/Courses/ph136/yr2011/1102.2.K.pdf How did equation 2.4 from figure 2.3 arise? Why disappear ##\Delta t^2## from the right?
Another question is: In the text above eq.2.4 is written ##c\Delta t^2=\Delta t^2##?? Ok, if it says work in geometric units where ##c=1## ok, but it isn't mentioned.
Homework Equations
eq 2.4 ##\Delta s^2=-\Delta t^2+\Delta x^2+\Delta y^2=-(2h-\Delta y^2)+\Delta y^2##
The Attempt at a Solution
An attempt occurred in my mind, when I thought about it half an hour :-)
Thank you all.
