Actually , you got it wrong, Harry.
And it is such a simple problem. "G" is indeed correct, how would the
light go diagonally in the track frame? Moreover, why would the light
ray get inclined forward in the direction of the train motion?

Its very simple .. it HAS to be inclined forward in the track frame in
order
to be vertical in the train frame.

Well, you may be in for a surprise, it is inclined backwards, not
forwards in the track frame. Harry here will be more than happy to
explain that to you (once he understands my explanation to him)

Nonsense.

1. Upward light trip as viewed from the track

2. Downward light trip as viewed from the track

Have fun! Hope you learned something new.

No .. I already knew you had no idea what you're talking about.

Its perfectly simple .. if the light is travelling vertically in the train,
then from the frame of the track it is inclined in the direction of the
travel of the train .. it has to be. There is no other possibility- Hide quoted text -

"It has to be" has no room in science.Bye.
