1
Q
what happens to the mass of a muon when it travels at a speed close to the speed of light?
A
mass decreases
2
Q
what happens to the average lifetime of a muon when it travels at a speed close to the speed of light?
A
average lifetime increases
3
Q
when light increases in an LDR what happens to resistance?
A
more electrons become free so resistance decreases
4
Q
why is it difficullt to contain atoms compared to charged particles?
A
atoms are not charged so electric fields have no effect
contain means using electric fields to hold charged particles in a region of space without touching any surfaces
