2. An exotic particle with mass 10TeV/c? at rest is hit by a 1TeV gamma particle...
Special Relativity A photon of energy E collides with a stationary particle of rest mass m0 and is absorbed. What is the velocity of the resulting composite particle? NOTE: I used consrvation of momentum: p(before) = p(after), therefore p/c (energy of photon) = gamma*m0*v and solved for v. Apparently this is incorrect????
3. A particle of rest mass m moving in the a direction at a speed of c/3 abruptly decays electromagnetically, yielding two photons. From the perspective of the home frame, the photon moving in the positive r direction is more energetic than the photon moving in the negative r direction - (a) Determine the energies and frequencies of both photons in the rest frame of the decaying particle. -(b) Using Lorentz transformations, determine the energies and frequencies of both photons...
A photon of energy E collides with a stationary particle of mass m0 and is absorbed. (a) Use the reference frame of the stationary particle and draw before and after diagrams, labeling all the particles and their directions of motion (b) Write down conservation conditions relevant to this process. (c) What is the velocity of the resulting composite particle in terms of E and m0?
PHYS10121 a) A particle of rest mass m is travelling so that its total energy is 2mc. It collides with a stationary particle of rest mass m to form a new single particle. What is the 2. rest mass of the new particle? 9 marks] b) A photon hits an electron at rest and produces an electron-positron pair according to the reaction γ+ e- e" + e-+e+, what is the smallest possible photon energy for this to occur? You may...
A particle of mass M decays into a photon and a particle of mass m < M. What is the energy of the particle of mass m in the rest frame of the decaying particle?
A proton moves at a speed of 0.99c in a particle accelerator. The rest mass of a proton is 1.67 times 10^-27 kg. a) What is the total energy of the proton, when viewed from the earth's reference frame? b) What is the kinetic energy of the proton, when viewed from the earth's reference frame? c) What implications do the answers to these two questions have for particle accelerators?
Second part of part c) please! The bit that asks about the particle travelling 75m in the laboratory before it decays. Determine its lifetime in the lab frame and then in its rest frame. -+160% are s two postulates of Special Relativity 4 marks) b) Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an eleetron moving at a speed of 0.70c. The rest mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10-31 kg. 5 mar c) An elementary particle has a total energy...
(d) A particle of mass m is moving at a speed u and hits an identical particle that is siting at rest. What are their four-momenta in the center of mass frame (e) In the center of mass frame, the collision of the two particles in part (d) causes the particles to fuse and create a single particle with mass M »m (i.e. the two particle turn into one, the opposite of a decay) that is completely at rest in...
A particle of rest mass mo and charge q is accelerated from rest by a uniform (in the lab frame) electric field Ei. What are the velocity and position of the particle (as a function of time) a. in the lab frame? b. in the rest frame of an observer moving with a velocity vok relative to the lab? c. (Optional) Plot the position and speed of an electron in a uniform field of magnitude 1 MV/m for the time...
8-14 positron-electron annihilation A positron et of mass m and kinetic energy K is annihilated on a target containing electrons e(same mass m) practically at rest in the laboratory frame: et(fast) +e-(at rest) → radiation a By considering the collision in the center-of- momentum frame (the frame of reference in which the total momentum of the initial particles is equal to zero), show that it is necessary for at least two gamma rays (rather than one) co result from the...
