Question: In a stationary reference frame S , a green laser located at x 1 = 2 . 5 0 m is switched on at t
In a stationary reference frame S a green laser located at
x m
is switched on at
t ns
and ns later, a blue laser is switched on at
x m
A second reference frame S is moving in the positive x direction so that the origins of the two reference frames coincide at time
t
as measured in both reference frames. To an observer in S both lasers are switched on at the same location.
a What is the relative speed between the S and S reference frames?
ms
b What is the x coordinate of the two lasers in the S reference frame when they are switched on
m
c What is the time interval between the two lasers being switched on in the S reference frame? Enter the magnitude.
