Figure 1
The schematic depicts the stationary ground frame (GF, ) observer. With respect to the GF, the train frame (TF, ) observer moves with a velocity v in the
+ x direction. With respect to the GF, an event (a bird) frame (BF) moves at a velocity u in the
+ x direction. The hyperbolic angles ( and ) are defined by the velocities u and v relative to c as indicated, and are illustrated in Fig. 2. |
