Make a drawing similar to Figure 2.20 showing the worldlines of Casper and Amelia from Casper's frame of reference. Divide the worldline for Amelia's outward journey into 8 equal segments (for the 8 birthdays that Amelia celebrates). For each birthday, draw a line that represents a light signal that Amelia sends to Casper on her birthday. Do the same for Amelia's return journey. (a) According to Casper's time, when does he receive the signal showing Amelia celebrating her 8 th birthday after leaving Earth? (b) How long does it take for Casper to receive the signals showing Amelia celebrating birthdays 9 through $16 ?$
