Question
Suppose that an electron and a positron collide head-on. Both have kinetic energy of 1.20 MeV and rest energy of 0.511 MeV. They produce two photons, which by conservation of momentum must have equal energy and move in opposite directions. What is the energy Ephoton of one of these photons

Answer:
E = 1.711 MeV
Explanation:
From the law of the conservation of energy:
where,
E = Energy of Photon = ?
Therefore,
E = 1.711 MeV
