One observer stands on a train moving at a constant speed, and one observer stands at rest on the ground. The person on the train stands at the back of the car and turns on a flashlight; the light travels to the front of the car, bounces off a mirror, and returns to the back of the car (assume the light is traveling in a vacuum). The observer on the ground measures the time it takes for the light to take this path and knowing the length of the car, calculates the speed of light. What value does she obtain?

a.)greater than c

b.) equal to c

c.) less than c

d.) value cannot be calculated without knowing the speed of the train
