question 24

Essay

Muons are elementary particles that decay into other particles in about 2 microseconds. They are formed in the upper atmosphere of the Earth from high energy cosmic rays, and can be detected on the ground even though they could only travel a few hundred meters before decaying according to Newtonian physics. How does relativity explain how we can detect them on the ground? Explain both in our reference frame and in the frame of the muon.
