- #6-aWhat is the distance between Patna and Delhi in the train frame? (b) How much time elapses in the train frame between Patna and Delhi?Ans : Apparent distance between Patna and Delhi is given by
`` L\text{'}={L}_{0}\sqrt{1-{v}^{2}/{c}^{2}}``
`` L\text{'}={10}^{6}\sqrt{1-{\left(\frac{100}{3\times {10}^{8}}\right)}^{2}}``
`` L\text{'}={10}^{6}\sqrt{1-\frac{{10}^{4}}{9\times {10}^{16}}}``
`` L\text{'}={10}^{6}\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{9}\times {10}^{-12}}``
`` L\text{'}=56\times {10}^{-9}\,\mathrm{\,m\,}``
Change in length = 56 nm
So, the distance between Patna and Delhi in the train frame is 56 nm less than 1000 km. (b) Actual time taken by the train is given by
t = `` \frac{{L}_{0}}{v}=\frac{1000\times {10}^{3}}{100}={10}^{4}\,\mathrm{\,s\,}=\frac{500}{3}\,\mathrm{\,min\,}``
Change in time, `` ∆t=\frac{∆L}{v}=\frac{L\text{'}}{v}=\frac{56\times {10}^{-9}}{100}=0.56\times {10}^{-9}\,\mathrm{\,s\,}=0.56\,\mathrm{\,ns\,}``
So, 0.56 nm less than `` \frac{500}{3}`` min elapse in the train frame between Patna and Delhi.
