Two atomic clocks are synchronized. One is put aboard a spaceship that leaves Earth at t = 0 at a speed of 0.750c.
(a) When the spaceship has been traveling for 48.0 h (according to the atomic clock on board), it sends a radio signal back to Earth. When would the signal be received on Earth, according to the atomic clock on Earth?
(b) When the Earth clock says that the spaceship has been gone for 48.0 h, it sends a radio signal to the spaceship. At what time (according to the spaceship's clock) does the spaceship receive the signal?
