Through waht potential difference must a proton be accelerated in order to reach a speed of 4/5 c?? Answer in volts.
Since (in relativisitic terms) K = mc^2 (gamma -1)
then q dV = mc^2 (gamma -1 )
where dV is the potential difference
and q is the charge of the proton = 1.6 e -19 V
Am i right?? please do tell!
