LLLL (d) Antimatter was supposed to be the fuel for the starship Enterprise in the TV show Star Trek Antimatter is not science fiction, though it's real. (Indeed, it's one of the few scientific details the show got right.) Suppose a proton annihilates with an anti-proton. To conserve angular momentum, this gives off two gamma-ray photons. Assuming that before annihilating, the proton and the anti-proton were both non-relativistic, and indeed, were moving so slowly they had negligible kinetic energy. How many clecton-volts (V) of energy does each gamma-ray have? (e) If one wanted to use an electron microscope to resolve an object as small as 2x10-10 m (or in other words, with Ar = 2 x 10-10 m), what minimum kinetic energy (in Joules) would the electrons need to have? Assume the electrons are non-relativistic. (The next page is blank, so you may write answers there. You may also write answers on this page.) MacBook Air Dll DD Blo FE 3 + s & 7 8 9 deve
