Concept explainers
The initial kinetic energies of electron and positron.
Answer to Problem 71GP
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Energy,
Formula used:
Where,
Calculation:
Electron and positron have identical masses, energy of each photon will consist of the total energy from an electron or positron.
So, of that energy,
This value comes from the conversion of mass into energy.
Therefore, rest of the
Conclusion: The required value is
