An observer AA sees an asteroid with a radioactive element moving by at a speed =0.3  c= 0.3\,\,c and measures the radioactivity decay time to be TA{T_A}. Another observer BB is moving with the asteroid and measures its decay time as TB{T_B}. Then TA{T_A} and TB{T_B} are related as below
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
TB<TA{T_B} < {T_A}
Option A (TB<TA{T_B} < {T_A}) is correct because of time dilation in special relativity. The observer moving with the asteroid measures the proper time, which is shorter than the time measured by a stationary observer.
