When and electron-positron pair annihilates, the energy released is about.

A

`3.2 xx 10^(-13)J`

B

`1.6 xx 10^(-13)J`

C

`4.8 xx 10^(-13)J`

D

`6.4 xx 10^(-13)J`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`Dleta M= 2m = 2 xx 9 xx 10^(-31) kg`
`E= Delta M xx c^(2)`
`=18 xx 10^(-31) xx (3 xx 10^(8))^(2)= 1.6 xx 10^(-13)J`

if an electron and a positron annihilitate , them the energy relasesed is

The rest mass of an electron as well as that of positron is 0.51 MeV. When an electron and positron are annihilate, they produce gamma-rays of wavelength(s)

An electron - positron pair annihilates at rest to produce gamma -rays. Calculate the energy produced in MeV if the rest mass of electron is 9.1xx10^(-31)kg .

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

A gamma ray photon creates an electron-positron pair. If the rest mass energy of an electron is 0.5 MeV and the total K.E. of the electron-position pair is 0.78 MeV , then the energy of the gamma ray photon must be.

The positron is a fundamental particle with the same mass as that of the electron and with a charge equal to that of an electron but of opposite sign. When a positron and an electron collide, they may annihilate each other. The energy corresponding to their mass appears in two photons of equal energy. Find the wavelength of the radiation emitted. [Take : mass of electron = (0.5//c^(2))MeV and hc = 1.2 xx 10^(-12) MeV-m , where h is the Planck's constant and c is the velocity of light in air.

A 5 xx 10^(-4) Å photon produces an electron-positron pair in the vincinity of a heavy nucleus. Rest energy of electron is 0.511 MeV . sIf they have the same kinetic energies, the energy of each paricles is nearly
