A sigma0 particle with mass 1193 MeV/c^2 decays into a lambda0 particle with mass 1116 MeV/c^2 a photon. Find the energy and momentum of the photon, assuming that the kinetic energy of the lambda0 particle is negligible.

This is a standard A-level particle physics question. To solve it, we need to use three equations given in the formula sheet of the paper. To find the energy of the photon, we use Einsteins famous energy-...

the first four terms in a sequence are 2, 6, 10, 14. what is the nth term? and what is the sum to n terms of the sequence?

the nth term formula is the sum of the first term (a) and the second to last term (n-1) * the common difference (d). so a + (n-1)d where a = 2 and d = 4 in this case is 2 + (n-1)4 = 4n - 2. the sum to...
