I conducted a virtual experiment using the javalab simulation called the Special Relativity: Time dilation using the link https://javalab.org/en/special_relativity_en/. The lab is to examine the elasped time measured by each observer inside of the moving spaceship (to) and outside of the moving spaceship (t).
The meanings of the symbols used in this simulation are as follows.
- L = Distance that light travels in a stationary state, (=ct?)
- c = Speed of light (? 299,792,458 m/s)
- t? = The transit time of light observed inside the spacecraft(or the transit time of light observed in a stationary state)
- t = The transit time of light observed outside the spacecraft
- v = The speed of the spaceship
