Physics

Neutron Decay 4 On their own, neutrons are unstable particleswith a half-life of 618 s when at rest. They decay into a proton,an electron and an electron antineutrino. Half-life is the timethat it takes half of a collection of unstable particles todecay.

a- The highest energy neutrons produced in a nuclear reactor aretraveling at about %15 of the speed of light, About how manyseconds is longer in this half - life for these neutrons?

b . If a bunch of high energy neutrons is emitted from the sunat about 0.88c and travels to earth , some 150 million km away ,will more than half or less than half of the neutrons make it toearth before turning into protons ? Show how you reached yourconclusion
