00 Experiment 3a: Bob is on a railroad car moving to the right with a constant velocity. On his car are two light bulbs that, from his perspective, switch on simultaneously. Question 3a: Will Alice agree that the lights switch on simultaneously. Hint, she will agree that the light from each of the bulbs arrive at Bob simultaneously. 1 00 00 Experiment 3b: Alice is standing in a field (on a planet without gravity) and she sees two simultaneous flashes of lightning (that is the light from each arrives at her position at the same time). Bob is on a railroad car moving to the right with a constant velocity. Question 3b: Does Bob think that the lightning strikes occurred simultaneously? If not, which flash does Bob think occurred first?
