Problem 26EA

What is the muon’s mean lifetime (Example 26–1) if it is traveling at

EXAMPLE 26-1 Lifetime of a moving muon.  What will be the mean lifetime of a muon as measured in the laboratory if it is traveling at  = 0.60c = 1.80 x 108 m/s with respect to the laboratory? A muon’s mean lifetime at rest is 2.20 = 2.20 x 10-6 s.  How far does a muon travel in the laboratory, on average, before decaying?
