Ovserver S detects two flashes of light....

Ovserver S detects two flashes of light. A big flash occurs at `x_(1)=1200m and, 5.00mus` later, a small flash occurs at `x_(2)=700m`. As detected by observer S', the two flashes occur at a single coordinate x'. (a) What is the speed parameter of S', and (b) is S' moving in the positive or negative direction of the x axis? To S', (c ) which flash occurs first and (d) what is the time interval between the flashes?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(a) 0.334; (b) negative; (c ) big flash; (d) 4.71 `mus`

observer S detects two flashes of light. A big flash occurs at x_(1)=1000 m and, slightly later, a small flash occurs at x_(2)=480 m. The time interval between the flashes is Deltat=t_(2)-t_(1) . What is the smallest value of Deltat for which observer S' will determine that the two flashes occur at the same x' coordinate?

A gun is fired at a distance. Why is the sound heard after the flash is seen?
