Light clock under constant proper accelleration I am consistently getting the wrong answer to this question and am starting to wonder if there is an error in the text.
A light clock has proper length l and moved longitudinally through an IF with proper accelleration alpha. (Ignore any variation of alpha along the rod). By looking at the time it takes the photon to make one to-and-fro bounce in the instantaneous rest frame, show that the frequency and proper frequency are related in the lowest order by [LaTeX Error: Can't write to directory]
the trouble is I get: [LaTeX Error: Can't write to directory]
Which is correct? Any clues how to solve this?
