A muon is a short-lived particle. It is found experimentally that muonsmoving at speed 0.9ccan travel about 1500 meters between the time they areproduced and the time that they decay.(a) How long does it take the muon to travel this distance?(b) How much time elapses in the muon’s rest frame (the reference frame inwhich the muon is at rest)?

a)

b)

Explanation:

a) Let's use the constant velocity equation:

b) Here we need to use Lorentz factor because the speed of the muon is relativistic. Hence the time in the rest frame is the product of the Lorentz factor times the time in the inertial frame.

v is the speed of muon (0.9c)

Therefore the time in the rest frame will be:

No we use the value of Δt calculated in a)

I hope it helps you!

concave lenses are used here. they spread the light out before it reaches the convex lens in the eye, therefore letting the image focus directly on the retina. hyperopia is known to you probably as farsightedness.
