i
The entrance clock is at x=0. Let G be the event on that clock simultaneous with emission in the runner's frame. Since tG′​=γtG​=tE′​, its reading is
tG​=−c2vL​.​
(1)
This is the tunnel clock's reading, not the runner-frame coordinate time tE′​=−γvL/c2. It is also not a calculation of what a photograph of that distant clock would show, which would require an additional light-travel condition.
