Two friends, Sungyoung and Azhar are initially 10 years old. While Azhar remains on Earth, Sungyoung rides on a spaceship which travels away from Earth at a speed of 1c for 5years (as measured by Azhar), then immediately turns around and comes back at 1c. When Sungyoung returns, Azhar is 2*5 years older than when Sungyoung left. How old is Sungyoung upon his return?

Antimatter: When a particle and its anti-particle collide, energy and momentum are conserved. However, the particles can annihilate each other and produce two gamma rays - high energy photons. An electron and an anti-electron each have a rest mass of 9.11 × 10-31 kg. Suppose the particles are each accelerated to a speed of 0.98c in a particle accelerator with a length of 1543 m for a head on collision. (Each particle is moving at this speed with respect to the lab, and the particles are moving in opposite directions.) They collide head on and annihilate. What is the wavelength of the gamma rays produced in this collision?
