How far does the muon travel

Reference no: EM13501690

A muon formed high in Earth's atmosphere travels at speed v = 0.92c for a distance of 4.3 km before it decays into an electron, a neutrino, and an antineutrino (µ- e- + v + v).

(a) How long does the muon live, as measured in its reference frame?

_________ µs

(b) How far does the muon travel, as measured in its frame?

_________ km
