MCQ
The rest energy of an electron is
- ✓$510\, KeV$
- B$931\, KeV$
- C$510 \,MeV$
- D$931\, MeV$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$510\, KeV$
a
(a) Rest energy of an electron ${r_n} \propto {n^2}$
(a) Rest energy of an electron ${r_n} \propto {n^2}$
Here ${m_e} = 9.1 \times {10^{ - 31}}kg$ and $c =$ velocity of light
$\therefore $Rest energy $ = 9.1 \times {10^{ - 31}} \times {(3 \times {10^8})^2}joule$
$ = \frac{{9.1 \times {{10}^{ - 31}} \times {{(3 \times {{10}^8})}^2}}}{{1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}}}eV = 510\;keV$
