Mass Energy equivalence
Question

If the rest mass of electron or positron is 0.51 MeV, then the kinetic energy of each particle in the electron-positron pair production by a -photon of 2.42 MeV will be 

Easy
Solution

Mass produced (0.51 + 0.51) MeV=1.02MeV.
Remaining energy
(2.42 – 1.02) = 1.4 MeV
