There are two groups of mutually synchronized clocks K and K^' moving relative to each other with a velocity v as shown in Figure. The moment when the clock A^' gets opposite the clock A is taken for the beginning of the time count. Draw the approximate position of hands of all the clocks at this moment "in terms of the K clocks", "in terms of the K^' clocks". |

Answer» Solution :By Lorentz transformation `t^'=(1)/(sqrt(1-v^2/c^2))(t-(vx)/(c^2))` So at TIME `t=0`, `t^'=(vx)/(c^2)(1)/(sqrt(1-v^2//c^2))` If `xgt0t^'lt0`, if `xlt0`, `t^'gt0` and we GET the diagram given below "in terms of the K-clock".  The situation in terms of the `K^'` clock is reversed. |
