A primed frame moves at \(V=(3 / 5) c\) relative to an unprimed frame. Just as their origins pass, clocks at the origins of both frames read zero, and a flashbulb explodes at that point. Later, the flash is seen by observer \(A\) at rest in the primed frame, whose position is \(x^{\prime}, y^{\prime}, z^{\prime}=(3 \mathrm{~m}, 0,0)\).

(a) What does A's clock read when A sees the flash?

(b) When A sees the flash, where is she located according to unprimed observers?

(c) To unprimed observers, what do their own clocks read when A sees the flash? Use the Lorentz transformation of Eqs. 2.15.
