(c) How much time passes according to an observer traveling with the muon? (d) What distance does the muon travel according to an observer traveling with the muon? (e) A third observer traveling toward the muon at c/2 measures the lifetime of the particle. According to this observer, is the muons lifetime shorter or longer than the lifetime measured by the observer at rest with respect to Earth? Explain.arrow_forward(a) A panicle and its antiparticle are at rest relative to an observer and annihilate (completely destroying both masses), creating two y rays of equal energy. What is the characteristic y -ray energy you would look for if searching for evidence of proton-antiproton annihilation? (The fact that such radiation is rarely observed is evidence that there is very little antimatter in the universe.) (b) How does this compare with the 0.511-MeV energy associated with electron-positron annihilation?arrow_forward
- Suppose a Wcreated in a particle detector lives for 5.001025s . What distance does it move in this time if it is traveling at 0.900c? (Note that the time is longer than the given Wlifetime, which can be due to the statistical nature of decay or time dilation.)arrow_forwardWhat is for a proton having a mass energy of 938.3 MeV accelerated through an effective potential of 1.0 TV (teravolt) at Fermilab outside Chicago?arrow_forwardPlans for ail accelerator that produces a secondary beam of K mesons to scatter from nuclei, for the purpose of studying the strong force, call for them to have a kinetic energy of 500 MeV.

- Suppose a W created in a bubble chamber lives for What distance does it move in this time if it is traveling at 0.900 c? Since this distance is too short to make a track, the presence of the W must be inferred from its decay products. Note that the time is longer than the given W lifetime, which can be due to the statistical nature of decay or time dilation.arrow_forward(a) What is the kinetic energy in MeV of a ray that is traveling at 0.998c?

(b) What is the velocity of the ray relative to the ray?arrow_forwardWhat length track does a +traveling at 0.100c leave in a bubble chamber if it is created there and lives for 2.60108s?

(This indicates how extremely relativistic the accelerator would have to be in order to make the particle, and how large the relativistic quantity (would have to be.)arrow_forwardWhen a stat erupts in a supernova explosion, huge numbers of electron neutrinos are formed in nuclear reactions. Such neutrinos from the 1987A supernova in the relatively nearby Magellanic Cloud were observed within hours of the initial brightening, indicating they traveled to earth at approximately the speed of light. Explain how this date can be used to set an upper limit on the mass of the neutrino, noting that the mass is small the neutrinos could travel very close to the speed at light and have a reasonable energy (on the order of MeV).arrow_forwardThe decay mode of the negative muon is (a) Find the energy released in MeV.
