Question: Two events in reference frame (mathrm{S}) occur (10 mu mathrm{s}) apart at the same point in space. Frame (mathrm{S}^{prime}) travels at speed (v=0.90 c) relative

Two events in reference frame \(\mathrm{S}\) occur \(10 \mu \mathrm{s}\) apart at the same point in space. Frame \(\mathrm{S}^{\prime}\) travels at speed \(v=0.90 c\) relative to frame \(\mathrm{S}\).

a. What is the time interval between the events in reference frame \(S^{\prime}\) ?

b. What is the distance between the events in frame \(\mathrm{S}^{\prime}\) ?
