Three observers $A, B$ and $C$ measure the speed of light coming from a source. Observer $A$ moves towards the source,observer $C$ moves away from the source with the same speed,and observer $B$ remains stationary. The surrounding space is a vacuum everywhere. Which of the following is true regarding the measured speeds ${v_A}, {v_B}$ and ${v_C}$?

  • A
    ${v_A} > {v_B} > {v_C}$
  • B
    ${v_A} < {v_B} < {v_C}$
  • C
    ${v_A} = {v_B} = {v_C}$
  • D
    ${v_A} = {v_B} > {v_C}$
