What is meant by pair annihilation ? Write a balanced equation for the same. |
|
Answer» In the pair annihilation, the electron and positron in the stationary state combine with each other and annihilate. Surely, the particles are disappeared and radiation energy will occur instead of two particles. K– + K+ + 2m0c2 = 2 hv where K– and K+ represent the kinetic energy of the electron and positron before the collision. Also, 2 m0c2 means the rest mass energy of both particles. |
