Question: An observer in frame S standing at the origin observes two flashes of colored light separated spatially by x = 2400 m. A blue flash

An observer in frame S standing at the origin observes two flashes of colored light separated spatially by Δx = 2400 m. A blue flash occurs first, followed by a red flash 5 μs later. An observer in S’ moving along the x axis at speed V relative to S also observes the flashes 5 μs apart and with a separation of 2400 m, but the red flash is observed first. Find the magnitude and direction of V.
