Question

Shannon observes two light pulses to be emitted from the same location, but separated in time by $3.00 \mu$ s. Kimmie observes the emission of the same two pulses to be separated in time by $9.00 \mu$ s. (a) How fast is Kimmie moving relative to Shannon? (b) According to Kimmie, what is the separation in space of the two pulses?

Step 1

00 $\mu$s T' = 9.00 $\mu$s Using the formula: $V = C \sqrt{1 - (\frac{T}{T'})^2}$ Substitute the values: $V = 3.00 \times 10^8 \sqrt{1 - (\frac{3.00}{9.00})^2}$ $V = 3.00 \times 10^8 \sqrt{1 - 0.1111}$ $V = 3.00 \times 10^8 \times 0.94$ $V = 2.82 \times 10^8$ m/s Show more…
