Homework Statement
My professor gave us a werid question which is as follows
In the laboratory frame, two clocks are synchronized and measure two light sources at the same time situated at 3 years in time axis and 3 light years and 2 light years in x-axis
>At what velocity is the frame ##S'## moving?
>What distance will the traveler measure between the two light sources?
Now apparently the answer to the first question is ##c/\sqrt3##
My question is "Does this question even make sense?" (and yes that is the complete question).
I was told explicitly that the traveler is in ##S'## frame and the light sources are in ##S## frame. Even if I take that assumption is the provided answer plausible?
