What is the dilated lifetime and proper lifetime

Reference no: EM13664510

An unstable high-energy particle is created in the laboratory, and it moves at a speed of 0.950c.Relative to a stationary reference frame fixed to the laboratory, the particle travels a distance of 1.34*10^-3 m before disintegrating.

a) What is the dilated lifetime?

b) What is the proper lifetime?

c) What is the proper distance traveled?

d) What is the distance measured by a hypothetical person traveling by the particle?
