Frame S' has a speed v = 0.6c relative to S in x direction which is parallel to x'. The clocks on S and S' are adjusted so that t= t'= 0 at x= x'= 0 . An event occurs in S at t= 2 x 10-7 s at the point x= 50m. At what time does the event occur in S' ? If there is another event in S (10m, 3 x 10-7 s ) what is the time interval between the event as measured in S' ?
