Question

A gamma ray photon creates an electron- positron pair. If the rest mass energy of an electron is 0.5 MeV and the total K.E. of the electron- positron pair is 0.78 MeV, then the energy of the gamma ray photon must be

  1. 0.78 MeV    
  2. 1.78 MeV    
  3. 1.28 MeV    
  4. 0.28 MeV    

The correct answer is: 1.78 MeV


    Energy of g-ray photon =0.5 plus 0.5 plus 0.78 equals 1.78   M e V.
