Question #225459

Due to annihilation of electron- positron of same kinetic energy 0.95 MeV, a photon is produced which canalso be produced by an electron of energy E, the possible value of E is ( mass of electron = 9.1 x 10-31 kg, e = 1.6 x 10-19C )

Expert's answer

We know that

E=K+m0c2E=K+m_0c^2

K=E−m0c2K=E-m_0c^2

Put value


E=(0.95+9.1×10−31×(3×108)2×931)MeVE=(0.95+9.1\times10^{-31}\times(3\times10^8)^2\times931)MeV


1amu=931 MeV



E=(0.95+7.62×10−11)MeVE=(0.95+7.62\times10^{-11})MeV

E=0.95MeVE=0.95MeV
