Two laser pulses are emitted in a vacuum towards each other. How fast they spread relative to each other.

Two answer options:

1. According to the theory of relativity, the speed of light does not depend on the frame of reference. Based on this, the pulses move relative to each other at the speed of light

s = 300,000 km / s.

2.From the standpoint of classical mechanics, the speeds when moving towards each other are summed up

Cm = s + s = 2s.
