Question

What is the approximate energy released by the complete annihilation of an alpha particle

Answer 1

Answer:

The energy released when this alpha particle is annihilated can be found using the mass-energy equivalence equation given by, E = mc2. 'c' is the velocity of light.

E = (6.644 ×10−27) × (3 × 108)2 = 5.9796 × 10-10 J.
