I try to determine the speed of muons. In an book I have there's an exercise regarding muons.
Given that they half of them decay in 2.2 * 10^{-6} s, how fast do they have to travel if half of them is to reach earth, ocean floor?
I tried to calculate the speed but I get to a point where I have two unknowns and one equation...
t' = \gamma t
How do I get further..? Assuming a speed close to c to get a t', or?
