Explanation Formula used: Relativistic expression for the energy, E = γ p m c 2 . Calculation: γ p = 1 1 − ( 0.9999995 c ) 2 c 2 = 1000 E e l e c t r o n = γ p m c 2 = 1000 × 9.11 × 10 − 31 × ( 3 × 10 8 ) 2 = 8.20 × 10 − 11 J The energy of γ ray photon E g a m m a = h c λ = 6.63 × 10 − 34 × 3 × 10 8 1 × 10 − 6 × 10 − 9 = 1.99 × 10 − 10 J Since the reaction is p + + p − → e + + e − + γ + γ , energy of proton is equal to sum of energy of electron and gamma ray
