- Review Multiple-Concept Example 4 to see the concepts that are pertinent here. In a television picture tube, electrons strike the screen after being accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 24000 V. The speeds of the electrons are quite large, and for accurate calculations of the speeds, the effects of special relativity must be taken into account. Ignoring such effects, find the electron speed just before the electron strikes the screen.

In the first step of the proton-proton chain, a positron is produced when two protons fuse together (with one proton converting to a neutron). The emitted positron quickly collides with its anti-particle, the electron. (Recall that the electron and positron have exactly the same mass, but opposite electric charges.) The electron and positron then completely annihilate, converting all of their rest mass into two gamma-ray photons. Given a single particle of mass m, the amount of energy E produced when all of its mass is converted to energy is given by Einstein's famous formula, E = m c?, where c = 2.9979 x 10° m/s is %3D the speed of light.
