Early Quantum Theory
A photon of wavelength 2×10-14m, hits a stationary particle of mass
3.33×10-27 kg, breaking it into two identical pieces that depart at 82.3*(angle) from the photon’s direction
of motion. The photon disappears in the process.
(a) Find the speeds and masses of the pieces.
(b) Does KE increase, decrease, or remain constant?
