What do the clocks read for the time intervals?
- For Events 1-2, the blue frame clock (A2) “ran slow”
- For Events 1-3, the orange frame clock (B2) “ran slow”
- What’s the difference?? The smallest time interval is measured in the frame in which only one clock is needed! This frame is called the “proper frame” for the time interval - Time in this frame is the “Proper Time”.
- Correct equation: Timproper = ? Tproper
