Chapter 36: Q. 7 (page 1059)

Your job is to synchronize the clocks in a reference frame. You are going to do so by flashing a light at the origin at t=0s. To what time should the clock at (x,y,z)=(30m,40m,0m) be preset?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The time is166.6ns.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have given,

(x,y,z)=(30m,40m,0m)

We have to find the time in the clock at that position.

02

Simplify

The distance will travel,

R=x2+y2+z2R=(30)2+(40)2+0R=900+1600R=2500R=50m/s

Since, the speed will speed of the light c.

Then time taken for the light to travel,

t=RV=50m/s3脳108m/st=166.6ns
