In my inertial frame of reference S, event A occurs before event B. I measure these events to be separated by a time interval ∆tAB and a distance ∆xAB. Suppose A and B both occur on the x-axis (i.e., y = z = 0) in my frame S. Consider an inertial frame S′ moving with velocity ⃗v = v x^ relative to my frame. Under what conditions would the two events be simultaneous in S′? Note-Answer must not have any other unknown variable
