34. Three observers located at E, F, and G are watching two bombs located close to Observers E and F. Both bombs explode simultaneously. Explain how the observers see the pattern of explosions.


Obviously E will see the explosion closer to him first and G will see the explosion closer to him first as light has to travel less distance.

As for G, that would depend on where G is located. If he is at the midpoint, or at equal distances from E and F,he would find them to be simultaneous.

But in practice , the speed of light is so high, that they will appear simultaneous to all three as it will be impossible to distinguish the time difference with our eyes.

The speed of light is so high it can circle the earth many times a sec!
