For the observer inside the car: \(\Delta t_{\mbox{car}} = h/c\).

For an observer on the ground, if the train is moving at velocity \(v\),

then \(\Delta t_{\mbox{\tiny gr}} = \sqrt{h^2 + v^2 \Delta t_{\mbox{\tiny gr}}^2}/c\) so

then \(\Delta t_{\mbox{gr}} = \sqrt{h^2 + v^2 \Delta t_{\mbox{gr}}^2}/c\) so

Back to our train, with a mirror on one end. A light signal

is sent from the opposite end, and the time for the round-trip

train, the time is \(\Delta t_{\mbox{tr}} = 2 \Delta x_{\mbox{tr}}/c\)

so

\Delta t_{\mbox{gr,2}} = \frac{\Delta x_{\mbox{gr}}}{c+v}

\[

\Delta t_{\mbox{\tiny gr}} =

\Delta t_{\mbox{gr}} =

= \frac{2 \Delta x_{\mbox{gr}}}{c} \frac{1}{1 - v^2/c^2}.
