Answer:

By conservation of momentum

Explanation:

By conservation of energy, the photon needs at least the same amount of energy as the energy rest mass of the electron and positron together, which is around 1,02 MeV. But, by conservation of momentum, the electron-positron do not have momentum, while the photon had some. This means that, in order to conserve momentum, we need another neighboring particle, normally an atomic nucleus,  to receive the photon's momentum.

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum do you think is most important and why?
KonstantinChe [14]
Radio waves, gamma-rays, visible light, and all the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation can be described in terms of a stream of mass-less particles, ...

The electromagnetic spectrum is a map of all the types of light that we can identify. It separates all the types of light by wavelength because that directly relates to how energetic the wave is. More energetic wave

For most of history, visible light was the only known part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The ancient Greeks recognized that light traveled in straight lines and studied some of its properties, including reflection

A train station bell gives off a fundamental tone of 500 Hz as the train approaches the station at a speed of 20 m/s. If the spe
Brut [27]

Answer: 529.9 Hz

Explanation:

Here we need to use the Doppler equation, so we have:

f' = f*(v + v0)/(v - vs)

Here, f is the frequency = 500Hz

v is the velocity of the wave, = 334m/s

v0 is the velocity of the observer = 20m/s

vs is the velocity of the source = 0m/s

Then we have:

f' = 500Hz*(334m/s + 20m/s)/(334m/s) = 529.9 Hz

What is atomic theory and how has it changed over time?
vazorg [7]
<span>In chemistry and physics, the atomic theory explains how our understanding of the atom has changed over time. Atoms were once thought to be the smallest pieces of matter. The first idea of the atom came from the Greek philosopher Democritus. Hope I helped!!</span>

How much force is required to accelerate a 5 kg mass at 20 m/s^2
Studentka2010 [4]

Hello!

\large\boxed{F = 100N}

Use the equation F = m · a (Newton's Second Law) to solve. Substitute in the given values:

F = 5 · 20

F = 100N
