In the annihilation process _are produced.
Correct answer: B. Photons
- A. Positron
- B. Photons
- C. Electrons
- D. B and C are correct
Explanation
In the annihilation process, a particle and its antiparticle collide and are completely destroyed. The mass of the two particles is converted into energy, which is emitted in the form of photons. The photons produced in the annihilation process have a total energy equal to the mass of the two particles multiplied by the speed of light squared (E=mc²), as per Einstein's famous equation.
