If the electron e − and the positron e + both have rest energy 0.51 MeV, nd the minimum energy a particle of light γ (a photon)

can have in the reaction e + + e − = γ + γ. Why can't there be a reaction producing only one photon, e + + e − = γ? Assume the center-of-mass frame.

Answer:

For Total energy and momentum to be conserved, the minimum energy of the photons released is equal to twice the rest mass energy of an electron that is  2 \times 0.51 MeV = 1.02 MeV

The annihilation of electron -positron cannot produce a single photon. It is prohibited by the law of conservation of energy and momentum.

CHEGG 42 mT magnetic field points due west. If a proton of kinetic energy 9 x 10-12 J enters this field in an upward direction,
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The  magnitude of the Force is  F = 697 *10^{-15}N  and the direction is South  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

         The magnetic field point due west and since East point toward the positive x -axis(i)  then this magnetic field would be mathematically represented as

                \= B = 42(-i)mT = 42*10^{-3} (-i) T

Now from the question we are told that the kinetic energy is

             KE = 9*10^{-12}J

Now this kinetic energy can be mathematically represented as

                  KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where m is the mass of proton which has a general value of

           m = 1.67*10^{-27}kg

Now making the subject of the formula

                v = \sqrt{\frac{KE}{0.5 * m} }

Substituting values we have

               v = \sqrt{\frac{9*10^{-12}}{0.5 * 1.67*10^{-27}} }

                 = 10.37*10^7m/s

Now from the question we are told that proton is moving upward which is in the positive z direction so the velocity of the proton would be in the positive

So the velocity would be

            \= v = 10.37*10^{7} \r k \ m/s

Now the magnetic Force can be mathematically represented as

          \= F = q \= v * \=  B

Where q is the charge on the proton which has a general value of  q =1.6*10^{-19}C

Now substituting the value

          \= F = 1.6*10^{-19 } * (10.37 *10^7) \r k * (42 *10^{-3})(-i)

              = 697*10^{-15} J

Now according to Fleming's left hand rule the direction of the magnetic force is south toward the negative Y - direction (-j)

So the force can be denoted as

                 \= F = 697*10^{-15}(-j) N

Take a look at the attachment below. As you can see, the figure demonstrates a 90 degree angle such that the surfaces are perpendicular, and hence are independent of the angle of incidence. You could say that this forms a part of a parallelogram -
