The figure below shows the expanding light waves of each sa emova fro m the perspective of the spaceship reference frame. (In this frame, the rocket is at rest and the galaxy appears to be zooming t drawn assuming that the supemovas were simultaneous in the spaceships reference frame to the left). The figure is d Ifdbn tbone suimption were comet wouldhonepovimultacoutyh Explain. e. As initially stated, the light from each supernova arived at the planet sim observers in the reference frame of the spaceship. In order for the planet inhabitants to observe the supemovasto occur simultaneously, can the spaceship reference frame also observe the su which happens first? Explain. a arrived at the planet simultaneously, this event would be noted pernovas to be simultaneous? If not,

Answer 1

D)As supernova occur simultaneously in frame of reference of spaceship then supernova in right will occur first and in left later as both are at different distances from spaceship . Now for planet both supernova are at equidistant so right will be seen first .

E) no as spaceship is not equidistant from both supernova so light will travel to spaceship at different time interval so supernovas can not be seen simultaneously
