4. A spaceship is traveling at speed u relative to Earth. The moment the ship passes the Earth, a clock on Earth and a clock on the spaceship both start ticking. After time T (Earth time), the clock on Earth sends a light signal towards the ship. The ship's clock receives the signal at time To (spaceship time). Show that they are related by 1-v/c To1+v/c T = To 4. A spaceship is traveling at speed u relative to Earth.
