The observer measures a dilated interval Δt = γ Δτ = 3.349 s, where γ = 1 / sqrt(1 − v²/c²) = 1.026. Time dilation is a direct consequence of the invariance of the spacetime interval.

de Broglie wavelength of particle mass 6.2192e-26 kg, speed 1.6040e+06 m/s
A free particle of mass 6.2192e-26 kg moving at speed 1.6040e+06 m/s has de Broglie wavelength λ = h / p = h / (m v) = 6.6424e-15 m, where h is Planck's constant. This relation underlies the wave-particle duality of matter and is confirmed by electron diffraction experiments.
