Would the time required for a photon to travel from one side of the
ship to the other side be ;

(1) One second according to the ship's clock? or
(2) One second according to a clock on Earth? or
(3) One second according to both clocks? or
(4) Some arbitrary time not related to the nominal speed of light?

How about (5) ?

(5): We won't do your homework for you
