Solutions

Expert Solution

In the frame of the control room electron moves with a constant speed 0.99998c. the electron travel a distance of 3.2 km = 3200 m. So the time taken for this trip as measured by the clock of control room is given by

This is the time as measured by the clock of control room for the trip.

b) the time measured by the internal clock of electron is called proper time t. The relation between t and T and t is given below

So the time measured by electron internal clock for the trip is

This is the time measured by the internal clock of electron.

c) in the frame of electron it is in rest , the control room moves backwards with a velocity 0.99998c so the trip distance L= 3200 m = 3.2 km will shrink to a distance in the frame of electron as given below

This is the trip distance according to the electron.

An observer (O) is standing on a long tunnel that has a rest length of 12 c.µs.  O sees a long train that he measures to be 12c.µstravel through the tunnel at a speed of 0.600c. The front and back of the tunnel are mounted with strobe lights so that when the front or end of the train reaches the end of the tunnel the light flashes.  So we have 4 events (flashes). Event 1:  Front of train enters tunnel. Event 2:  Front of...
