As shown in the figure, a stationary mirror is mounted in a reference frame S and a rocket ship moves toward the mirror at a speed v = 0.720c relative to the reference frame S. The instant the rocket ship is a distance d = 5.40 x 1010 m from the mirror (as measured by an observer in S), it emits a light pulse that travels to the mirror and is reflected back to the rocket ship. Mirror 0 Determine the total travel time (in s) for the light pulse as seen by the following. (a) an observer in the S reference frame (b) an observer on the rocket ship What If? If the light beam has an initial wavelength of 510 nm, determine the shift (in nm) in the wavelength of the light beam as measured by the following (use + for an increase and - for a decrease). (c) an observer in the S frame nm (d) an observer on the rocket ship nm
