- Provide the answers in 90 minutes and count as 2 questions if necessary.arrow_forwardIn a pair-production reaction, a photon produces a proton-antiproton pair. Y → p + p The rest energy of a proton is 938.3 MeV. (a) What is the lowest possible frequency (in Hz) of the photon that can produce the proton-antiproton pair? Hz (b) What is the wavelength (in m) that corresponds to this lowest possible frequency?arrow_forwardUsing 21st-century technology, hydrogen fusion requires temperatures around 108 K. But, lower initial temperatures are used if the hydrogen is compressed. In the late 24th century, the starship Leinad uses such methods to fuse hydrogen at 106 K. (a) What is the kinetic energy of an H atom at 1.003106 K? (b) How many H atoms are heated to 1.003106 K from the energy of one H and one anti-H atom annihilating each other? (c) If the heated H atoms of part (b) fuse into 4 He atoms (with the loss of two positrons per 4 He formed), how much energy (in J) is generated? (d) How much more energy is generated by the fusion in (c) than by the hydrogen-antihydrogen collision in (b)? (e) Should the captain of the Leinad change the technology and produce 3 He (mass = 3.01603 amu) instead of 4 He?arrow_forward
- Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) in the 100 MeV-1.00 GeV energy range pose the greatest radiation danger to astronauts in Earth orbit or on future interplanetary missions. As we shall find in the chapter on nuclear physics, fast-moving protons are 10 times as effective in causing radiation damage as x-rays of the same energy. Approximately 85% of GCRS are fast-moving protons, and spacecraft traveling in interplanetary space would require thick shielding to attenuate not only the incident cosmic rays, but also the shower of secondary particles created when the cosmic ray particles impacted the shielding material. (a) What is the speed (in terms of c) of a 1.00 GeV cosmic ray proton? The rest mass of the proton is 938 MeV. The phrase "a 1.00 GeV cosmic ray proton" means that the kinetic energy of the proton is 1.00 GeV. As we contemplate space travel at relativistic speeds, we must consider the low-density abundance of atomic hydrogen in the interstellar medium (ISM), estimated to be…arrow_forwardA neutral pion (ρ0) has a mass of 264 times the electron mass and decays with a lifetime of 8.4 x 10-17 s to two photons. Such pions are used in the radiation treatment of some cancers. (a) Find the energy and wavelength of these photons. In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum do they lie? What is the RBE for these photons? (b) If you want to deliver a dose of 200 rem (which is typical) in a single treatment to 25 g of tumor tissue, how many ρ0 mesons are needed?arrow_forwardThe range of the nuclear strong force is believed to be about 1.2 x 10-15 m. An early theory of nuclear physics proposed that the particle that “mediates” the strong force (similar to the photon mediating the electromagnetic force) is the pion. Assume that the pion moves at the speed of light in the nucleus, and calculate the time ∆t it takes to travel between nucleons. Assume that the distance between nucleons is also about 1.2 x 10-15 m. Use this time ∆t to calculate the energy ∆E for which energy conservation is violated during the time ∆t. This ∆E has been used to estimate the mass of the pion. What value do you determine for the mass? Compare this value with the measured value of 135 MeV/c2 for the neutral pion.arrow_forward
