In this lesson, we will learn how to use units of eV/c² to express the masses of subatomic particles and how to convert between eV/c² and kg.
Students will be able to
Q1:
The table shows the masses of the three charged leptons. What is the most massive lepton–antilepton pair that could be produced via pair production from a 150 MeV photon?
Q2:
What is 4.99×10 kg in keV/𝑐? Give your answer to one decimal place.
Q3:
A muon has a mass of 106/𝑐MeV. What is the mass of a muon in kilograms? Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
