Answer:

In pair production, after the loss of Kinetic energy, the angular separation between the two photons is 180°.

Explanation:

  • Pair production is the process of formation of two electrons, one negative and the other positive (positron), from a pulse of electromagnetic energy traveling through matter.

  • It is a process of direct conversion of radiant energy to matter.

  • The sum of the Kinetic energies of the formed particles amounts to a value of 4 MeV.

  • When the kinetic energy is lost, emission of two photons, each with an energy of approximately 1 MeV in the form of gamma rays takes place ( in opposite direction).

Therefore, the angle of separation between the two photons is 180°.

Mr. Adams asked his students to write the chemical symbol for the element zinc. He wrote the students’ answers on the whiteboar
m_a_m_a [10]

The chemical symbol for the element zinc is Zn.

<h3>What is element?</h3>

A chemical element is the one which reacts with other elements to form a compound.

Any chemical symbol must have its first letter written in Uppercase. If the element has two letter chemical symbol, then it should be written in lowercase.

Thus, the student wrote Zn as the chemical symbol of Zinc on the whiteboard.

The position of the front bumper of a test car under microprocessor control is given by x(t) = 2.31 m + (4.90 m/s2)t2 - (0.100 m
vovangra [49]
The equation of the car is given by the equation,

                          x(t) = 2.31 + 4.90t² - 0.10t⁶

If we are going to differentiate the equation in terms of x, we get the value for velocity.

                  dx/dt = 9.8t - 0.6t⁵

Calculate for the value of t when dx/dt = 0.

                 dx/dt = 0 = (9.8 - 0.6t⁴)(t)

The values of t from the equation is approximately equal to 0 and 2. 

If we substitute these values to the equation for displacement,

(0)   , x = 2.31 + 4.90(0²) - 0.1(0⁶) = 2.31

(2)    , x = 2.31 + 4.90(2²) - 0.1(2⁶) = 15.51

Thus, the positions at the instants where velocity is zero are 2.31 and 15.51 meters.

Plane-polarized light is incident on a single polarizing disk, withthe direction of E0 parallel to thedirection of the transmiss
Alenkinab [10]

Answer;

Cos²စ= I/Io

So

A. Cos²စ = 1/2.2

Cosစ= √1/2.2

စ = cos^-1 0.68

= 47.2°

B.

Cosစ = √1/5.2

စ = ,cos^-1 0.4385

= 64°

C.

Cosစ = √1/12

စ = cos^-1 0.2886

= 73.2°
