meson
is created in a high-energy collision of a primary cosmic-ray particle in the
earth’s atmosphere 200 km above sea level. It descends vertically at a
speed of 0.99c and disintegrates, in its proper frame
after its creation. We have to find the altitude above the seal level
observed from earth when it disintegrates.|
