An electron and an antielectron (positron) each have a rest energy of 0.511 MeV , or approximately 8.2×10-14 J . When an electron and a positron are both stationary and located next to each other during an annihilation process, their mass energy converts to electromagnetic energy released as photons, electromagnetic particles that have momentum but no mass and that travel at the speed of light. What is the minimum number of photons that could be released, and how much energy...

In a head-on collision of an electron of kinetic energy of 2.044 MeV with a positron at rest, the two particles are replaced by two photons of equal energy. If each photon is traveling at an angles θ with respect to the electron’s direction of motion, What is the energy E, momentum p (you can leave the answer in terms of c) and angle of θ of each photon? (For electron and positron mc2 = 0.511 MeV)

A K+-meson (with a rest mass of 493.7 MeV/c2) initially at rest decays into a μ+ (positive muon with rest mass of 105.7 MeV/c2), Two photons and a neutrino (assume exactly zero rest mass - not quite true). The Muon is observed to move along the x-axis with momentum 100MeV/c. The two photons are observed to have identical energies but opposite directions along the positive and negative y-axes. The neutrino (not shown) is unseen. Find the energies of the photons.Hint:...
