When a photon has high enough energy and passes through material, it can disappear and turn into one electron and one positron, in a process that is called "electron positron pair production". Part A In order for the photon to be able to create one electron and one positron, what must the minimum energy of the photon be? (electron/positrion charge is 1.6 10-19C, electron/positron mass is 9.1 10-31 kg) Express your answer with the appropriate units. μÀ ?
