Chapter 36: Q. 48 (page 1060)

The Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) accelerates electrons to v=0.99999997cin a 3.2kmlong tube. If they travel the length of the tube at full speed (they don鈥檛, because they are accelerating), how long is the tube in the electrons鈥� reference frame?

Short Answer

Expert verified

1.92脳10-3mis the tube in the electrons鈥� reference frame.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information 

We have found to how long is the tube in the electrons鈥� reference frame.

02

Simplify

The length of the electron is given as

l=l0脳纬=32脳11-0.99999997CC2=32脳5.99999991脳10-8=1.92脳10-6km

Hence the distance seen by the electron will be1.92脳10-6km=1.92脳10-3m.

You are flying your personal rocket craft at 0.90cfrom Star Atoward Star B. The distance between the stars, in the stars鈥� reference frame, is 1.0ly. Both stars happen to explode simultaneously in your reference frame at the instant you are exactly halfway between them. Do you see the flashes simultaneously? If not, which do you see first, and what is the time difference between the two?
