Physics

Design a carefully scaled and drawn Minkowski diagramdepicting two reference frames P (x and t) and Q (x' and t') with Qmoving at a speed of 0.6c in the positive x-direction with respectto P.

i) If event A occurs at x=1 and t=1 while event B occursat x=1 t=2, determine the interval of time between these events asmeasured by an observer in Q. Suggest twoother events and use them to demonstrate reciprocity of timedilation. Show the space-time interval is the same for P and Q

ii) If a meter stick is at rest in Q between x=1 and x=2,determine the length measured by an observer in P.
