In positron-emission tomography (PET) used in medical research and diagnosis, compounds containing unstable nuclei that emit
positrons are introduced into the brain, destined for a site of interest in the brain. When a positron is emitted, it goes only a short
distance before coming nearly to rest. It forms a bound state with an electron, called "positronium", which is rather similar to a
hydrogen atom. The binding energy of positronium is very small compared to the rest energy of an electron. After a short time the
positron and electron annihilate. In the annihilation, the positron and the electron disappear, and all of their rest energy goes into two
photons (particles of light) which have zero mass; all their energy is kinetic energy. These high energy photons, called "gamma rays", are
emitted at nearly 180° to each other.
What energy of gamma ray (in MeV, million electron volts) should each of the detectors be made sensitive to? (The mass of an electron
or positron is 9 x 10-31 kg.…
X rays with a wavelength of 71 pm are directed onto a gold foil and eject tightly bound electrons from the gold atoms.The ejected electrons then move in circular paths of radius r in a region of uniform magnetic field . For the fastest of the ejected electrons, the product Br is equal to 1.88 * 10-4 T.m. Find (a) the maximum kinetic energy of those electrons and (b) the work done in removing them from the gold atoms.

2.7 Two H-atoms collide head-on. After the collision, the net KE of both atoms is zero. Each atom
then emits a photon of wavelength = 121.6 nm, due to a (n 2) → (n 1) electron
transition. The rest mass of an H-atom is 1.673 × 10-27 kg. At what speed were the two
atoms moving before the collision? Were relativistic correction necessary in the calculation of
the speed?
