6
New cards

what are photons

Electromagnetic radiation travels in packets

7
New cards

what is the equation for frequency of electromagnetic radiation

E = hf = hc / γ

8
New cards

what is annihilation

where a particle and its corresponding antiparticle collide, as a result their masses are converted into energy

9
New cards

what is pair production

where a photon is converted into an equal amount of matter and antimatter
