Two photons of light are released simultaneously at t = 0 in reference frame K, one from x = 0 and the other from x= 600 m, and travel towards each other along the x - axis. The two photons meet at a point x at time t as measured in frame K. Reference frame K' is moving at 0.95c in the positive x direction. The origins of frames K and K' coincide at t = t' = 0 and the clocks of the two frames are zeroed when the origins coincide. According to observers in K', the space and time coordinates (x', t') of the event when the two photons meet is:
