This is a comparison of einstenian and newtonian kinematics. In the
moving frame, the distance (0, x') is measured from an observer at the
origin of the frame at rest.
 CASE: Light moving from 0 to x' in the moving frame.

Einstein SR. Light behave as wave, and c is the maximun speed.

Special Relativity means the theory presented in the first part of
Einstein's "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies". That theory
says nothing about the nature of light. The only property of light
is its speed.
The second part of the article shows that the theory presented in the
first part is compatible with Maxwell's equations so that the two
theories can be used together, which is demomstrated by solving some
problems that way.
