A positron and an electron annihilate each other upon colliding, thereby producing energy in the form of two gamma rays. Assuming that both gamma rays have the same energy (since both particles have the same mass), calculate the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation used in pm. (1 pm = 10⁻¹² m; mass of electron (amu) = 0.000549) Americium-241 is widely used in smoke detectors. Calculate the amount of americium-241 consumed in a smoke detector (initially containing 5.00 µg of Am), in micrograms, that has been used for one year if the half-life is 433 years.
