1.
Answer : The distance traveled by the light pulse on the moving light clock is longer than the distance traveled by the light pulse on the stationary light clock.
2.
Answer : The time interval for the light pulse on the moving light clock is longer than the stationary light clock.
3.
Answer : The light pulse traveled a larger distance when the clock is moving. The moving time frame required same time interval to stationary frame.
4.
Answer : There will be no difference in light pulse travel time. They always stayed same.
5.
Answer :The light will take about 8 us to travel back and forth between mirrors.
6.
Answer : The Lorentz factor will be 1.124.
PART 2. Length Contraction
1.
Answer : The measurement of this round-trip time interval does not depend on whether the light clock is moving or stationary relative to the earth.
2.
Answer : The round-trip time interval for the light pulse as measured on the earth be longer than the time interval measured on the light clock.
3.
Answer : The round-trip time interval as measured on the earth will be smaller than the product of the Lorentz factor.
4.
Answer : The length will be 769 m.
