An unstable particle is moving at a speed of 2.6 × 108 m/s relative to a laboratory. Its lifetime is measured by a stationary observer in the laboratory to be 4.7 × 10-6 seconds
What is the lifetime of the particle, measured in the rest frame of the particle? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s)
A hair is placed at one edge between two flat glass plates. When this arrangement is illuminated with yellow light of wavelength (l = 600 nm), a total of 61 dark bands are counted starting at the point of contact between the plates. How thick is the hair? (1 nm = 10-9 m) Note that a dark band occurs where the plates contact
