H5 Eveidence to support Special Relativity

H 5.1 Discuss the Muon Decay as experimental evidence to support special relativity


Evidence
Conclusion
Muons can be detected on the surface of the earth, even if they have a short half life, if they have special relativity
Time dialation explains why the Muons can be detected on the earth surface.  It is also due to length contraction because of the inident of high speed of the muons travelling at 0.99c
