According to the quantum theory of the electromagnetic energy, the total energy of a given electromagnetic radiation is given by formula E = nhv, where n is the number of quanta making up the radiation, h is Planck's constant and v is the radiation frequency. A proton and a neutron combine resulting in a deuteron and a release of an electromagnetic radiation. The mass of the deuteron is less than the sum of the proton and neutron masses by an amount Am = 3.9679 x 10-30kg - i. Provide an explanation of the apparently missing mass. [5 marks] ii. If the frequency of the radiation is 5.3902 x 10"Hz, determine how many radiation quanta are involved in this formation of a deuteron.
