What is the charge of an electron?
-1.60x10^-27
what is the mass of proton and neutron?
1.67x10^-27
what is the mass of an electron?
9.11x10^-31
what is a specific charge
charge over mass
what is the value of planks constant?

the equation for photon energy
E= hf
what is this equation for E=hf
Photon energy
what is the equation for photon power
E=nhf
What is n in the equation E=nhf?
n = phtons per second
what is this equation for E=nhf
Photon Power
what happens when matter and its antimatter meets
annihilation
converted into radiation.
two photons are produced to keep the momentum = 0
what is pair production
photon creates a particle and its corresponding antiparticle.
The equation for the minimum energy needed for pair-production.
hf = 2E E = rest energy of a particle.
what is electrom capture
electron capture is when a proton captures a electron and becomes a neutron while the elctron becomes a neutrino.
