Question

3 (a) - Otávio and Diana are at rest in the frame S', which moves at 0.600c in relation to the frame S, where c is the speed of light in vacuum. They do an experiment with a particle with a half-life of 1.4 µs while Eduardo, at rest in the S frame, watches the action (see figure). Otávio manages to emit a particle towards Diana at 0.800c (in relation to the reference S') and the distance between them (measured in relation to the reference S') is equal to 560 m. According to Otávio: is there a high probability that Diana will be able to detect the particle?
