Let and be inertial frames in 2-dimensional spacetime with coordinate systems and respectively. Suppose that moves with positive velocity relative to and the spacetime origins of and coincide. Write down the Lorentz transformation relating the coordinates of any event relative to the two frames.
Show that events which occur simultaneously in are not generally seen to be simultaneous when viewed in .
In two light sources and are at rest and placed a distance apart. They simultaneously each emit a photon in the positive direction. Show that in the photons are separated by a constant distance .
