In some experiment, we found the fast meson’s velocity is vf=0.9999c while the slow meson’s velocity is vs=0.9955c. Using unit of c in this problem. (leave two decimal places of your result, i.e. like 1.23) (a) Calculate the ratio of the fast meson's lifetime in the laboratory frame to the slow meson's lifetime in the laboratory frame. (b) Calculate the ratio of the fast meson's decay length to the slow meson's decay length.
