A relativistic positron (e^{+})with kinetic energy (T) annihilates a stationary electron (e^{-})and produces two photons (e^{+}+e^{-}
Question:
A relativistic positron \(e^{+}\)with kinetic energy \(T\) annihilates a stationary electron \(e^{-}\)and produces two photons \(e^{+}+e^{-} \rightarrow \gamma+\gamma\).
(a) At what angles are the photons emitted when they have equal energies?
(b) Is it possible for the photons to have unequal energies? Explain.
