At the instant the person entersthe tunnel, the light source simultaneously (as measured in the tunnel frame) emits a photon that travels down the tunnel toward the person.When the person and the photon eventually meet, the person's locationis a fraction f along the tunnel. What is f? Solve this by working in the tunnel frame, and then again by working in the person's frame.
