Consider a muon that was created at a height the same as the top of a nearby mountain, traveled straight down towards the Earth through the atmosphere at 0.9 times the speed of light, and then decayed at a point the same height as that of a tree it reaches, after exactly 2.2 microseconds in the muon frame. How fast as a fraction of the speed of light was the muon moving in its own rest frame?

1. Subatomic particles called muons can be created in the upper atmosphere by collisions of cosmic rays (energetic particles coming from astrophysical sources). As we shall see in a few lectures, muons quickly decay (in 2.2 microseconds on average) into other particles. Consider a muon that was created at a height the same as the top of a nearby mountain, traveled straight down towards the Earth through the atmosphere at 0.9 times the speed of light, and then decayed at...

Muons are unstable subatomic particles that decay to electrons with a mean lifetime of 2.2 μs . They are produced when cosmic rays bombard the upper atmosphere about 12.4 km above the earth's surface, and they travel very close to the speed of light. The problem we want to address is why we see any of them at the earth's surface. a) What is the greatest distance a muon could travel during its 2.2 μs lifetime? b) According to your...
