In the light box of Fig. 33.6, let event A be the emission of the light flash and event B its return to the source. Assign suitable space and time coordinates to these events in the frame in which the box moves with speed v. Apply the Lorentz transformations to show that the time between the two events in the box frame is given by Equation 33.3.
