Relativity of Time

This thought process explores the idea of time dilation for objects at speeds approaching the speed of light using a simulation.

Question 1: Distance traveled by the light pulseHow does the distance traveled by the light pulse on the moving light clock compare to the distance traveled by the light pulse on the stationary light clock?

A. The light pulse on the moving light clock covers a longer distance than the stationary clock.

Question 2: Time interval required for light pulse travel, as measured on the earthGiven that the speed of the light pulse is independent of the speed of the light clock, how does the time interval for the light pulse to travel to the top mirror and back on the moving light clock compare to on the stationary light clock?

A. The stationary completes a rountrip from source to mirror and back in less time than that of the mobile light clock

Question 3: Time interval required for light pulse travel, as measured on the light clockImagine yourself riding on the light clock. In your frame of reference, does the light pulse travel a larger distance when the clock is moving, and hence require a larger time interval to complete a single round trip?
A. In my frame reference, I would feel as if I had completed the roundtrip in the same amount of time as I would be traveling at the speed of light which is the same regardless of ones frame of reference.
