shadowsong"during his journey away (at speed v = 4/5 c), senior beams a light signal back to junior. determine the speed with which the light signal travels through space as measured by both senior and junior. you can state your answers as some fraction or multiple of the speed of light."
okay, so this signal is light. and the basic premise of relativity is that the speed of light is a constant. meaning you can't observe light going any speed other than the speed of light. which means SCREW YOU TOO, PHYSICS TEACHER! damn trick questions.
