Statement-I : Coversionof a ` gamma` photon into an electron and a positron is an example of pair production.
Statement -II : Pair production refers to the creation of an elementary particle and its antiparticle,usually when a photon interacts with a nucleus.

gamma-rays radiation can be used to create electron-positron pair. In this process of pair production. gamma-rays energy cannot be less than.

Assertion : An electron and positron can annihilate each other creating a photon. Reason: Electron and positron form a particle and anti-particle pair.

It is possible for a photon to materialize into an electron and a position. The process is called pair production. (a) Using conservation of energy and momentum prove that pair production cannot occur in empty space. (b) Argue qualitatively that such pair production is possible near a nucleus.

Statement-I : When X-ray incident on metal, the ejection of electron shows the particle nature of X-ray. Statement-II : X-ray is positively charged particle.

For pair production i.e. for the production of electron and positron, the incident photon must have a minimum frequency of the order of
