An Unstable Particle Produced in a High-Energy Collision Is Measured

question 5

Short Answer

An unstable particle produced in a high-energy collision is measured to have an energy of 483 MeV and an uncertainty in energy of 84 keV.Use the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to estimate the lifetime of this particle.( h = 1.055 × 10^-34 J • s = 6.59 × 10^-16 eV • s)
