They were detected from the 1987A supernova in the Magellanic Cloud, which is about 120,000 light- years away from Earth (relatively close to our Milky Way Galaxy). If neutrinos have a mass, they cannot travel at the speed of light, but if their mass is small, their velocity would be almost that of light, (a) Suppose a neutrino with a 7eV/c2mass has a kinetic energy of 700 keV. Find the relativistic quantity =11v2/c2for it. (b) If the neutrino leaves the 1987A supernova at the same time as a photon and both travel to Earth, how much sooner does the photon arrive? This is not a large time difference, given that it is impossible to know which neutrino left with which photon and the poor efficiency of the neutrino detectors. Thus, the fact that neutrinos were observed within hours of the brightening of the supernova only places an upper limit on the neutrino’s mass. (Hint: You may need to use a series expansion to find v for the neutrino, since its is so large.)arrow_forward
