Subatomic particles called pions are created when protons, accelerated to speeds very near c in a particle accelerator, smash into the nucleus of a target atom. Charged pions are unstable particles that decay into muons with a half-life of 1.8 x 10-8 s. Pions have been investigated for use in cancer treatment because they pass through tissue doing minimal damage until they decay, releasing significant energy at that point. The speed of the pions can be adjusted so that the most likely place for the decay is in a tumor.Suppose pions are created in an accelerator, then directed into a medical bay 30 m away. The pions travel at the very high speed of 0.99995c. Without time dilation, half of the pions would have decayed after traveling only 5.4 m, not far enough to make it to the medical bay. Time dilation allows them to survive long enough to reach the medical bay, enter tissue, slow down, and then decay where they are needed, in a tumor. What is the half-life of a pion in the reference…

CHAPTER 29-30 The electron in a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from the 2nd excited state (n-3) to the ground state (n-1).* How much energy, in eV, will be given off by the electron? Use three significant figures. Note that, for hydrogen, E, =-13.6 eV. *This is a transition in the Lyman series, which involves transitions between n= 1 and higher states. The wavelengths are in the ultraviolet. The Balmer series, which involves transitions between n 2 and higher states, yields light in the visible.
