What is the time separation between the two lightning bolts

Reference no: EM13690713

The following is a standard problem found in many textbooks:

Problem: An observer in reference frame S observes that a lightning bolt strikes the origin and 10-4 s later a second lightning bolt strikes the same location.

1- What is the time separation between the two lightning bolts determine by a second observer in reference frame S' moving at a speed of 0.8c along the collinear x-x' axis?
