Question:

Collision of an electron and a positron results in formation of two γ rays. In the process, their masses are converted completely into energy.
(a) Calculate the energy evolved from the annihilation of an electron and a positron, in kilojoules per mole.
(b) Using Planck’s equation (Equation 6.2), determine the frequency of the γ rays emitted in this process.

Data given in Equation 6.2
