4) A photon with a wavelength of 0.012 A disappears as it passes around the gold nucleus of an atomic mass of 197 akb, forming an e- -positron pair. a- Calculate the energy of the photon in MeV and compare it with the total stillness energy of the resulting e- - e+ pair. b- Calculate the momentum transferred to the nucleus, the kinetic energy and the velocity of the nucleus, if e- and positron are at rest immediately after their formation.
