Suppose that a muon neutrino and a muon antineutrino, both of which are just barely moving, encounter each other in space and completely annihilate to form two photons of equal energy. In view of the uncertainty about the mass of the muon neutrino (< 0.180 MeV/c²), what is the shortest wavelength Ao of light that could be emitted by the annihilation? Would the light be visible to the human eye? yes no λο = m
