Question: Two events happen at the same point x' 0 in frame S' at times t' 1 and t' 2 . (a) Use Equations 1-19 to

Two events happen at the same point x'0 in frame S' at times t'1 and t'2

(a) Use Equations 1-19 to show that in frame S the time interval between the events is greater than t'2 - t'1 by a factorϒ. 

x = y(x' + vt') 1= x( t + VX' 2 y

(b) Why are Equations 1-18 less convenient than Equations 1-19 for this problem?

= y z = z' 1-19

x = y(x' + vt') 1= x( t + VX' 2 y = y z = z' 1-19
