Question

I had asked this question before also...... but didnt got any nice answer. PLZ read the question very carefully and...... PLZ help me..... this question is killing me

Answer 2

...so this is like "ask a question -> expect an answer -> take the answer -> give medal" scenario?

Answer 3

From you diagram (and explaination), it seams that by the 10th second, the object is 2*c distance away (that means at that distance, it will take 2 seconds for light to reach the observer). Here your assumption of things being 1 second behind goes wrong.

Answer 4

@sauravshakya you've stated facts but what is your question?

Answer 5

How is that possible

Answer 6

what!? you want to know why he sees the 8th second of the object?

Answer 7

yep

Answer 8

and thanx for reading it

Answer 9

OMG, i just deleted everything i had written....:O ;(
lemme start over ;((

Answer 10

PLZ take your time

Answer 11

ok, thanks for the patience..

Answer 12

the thing is, when the man reads 6.5 seconds on his clock, photons from the object (which is 1.5 light seconds away) will have left the object, on their way to the man.
So, the man keeps admiring the view & 1.5 seconds later, that is at the 8th second, the photons which had been travelling for 1.5 seconds reach his eye. So, at the 8th second, he sees the object as it was in the 6.5th second.
Now at this 8th second , the object, which is approximately 2 light-seconds away, will give off photons which start their journey toward the eye of the observer. And then, after travelling for 2 secs, these photons reach the eyeof that person. Remember that these photons had left the object at the 8th second.
That is why the man sees the 8th second of the object when his clock reads 10 seconds.
Now the problem you might be facing is that you might think that something (information) is being lost somewhere.....right?
The thing is that it's not. The light from the object is red-shifted, meaning that it has a longer wavelength than it would have had if it were just stationary.

Now what is the significance of this?
Well, it means that to transmit the same information (one wavelength), it takes the red-shifted wave takes more time.
It's like if the object were a movie, the man would see it in slow motion.
Therefore a movie which was actually 8 seconds long, was 10 seconds long for him.
