A positron and an electron can annihilate each other on colliding, producing energy as photons: fe+ +fe → 287 Assuming that both y rays have the same energy, calculate the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation produced. Mass of an electron is 5.4858 x 10-4 u. 1 u = 1.6605 x 10-27 kg Wavelength = m
