What is the total energy before the collision

Reference no: EM13548305

A muon and an antimuon are moving in opposite directions with velocities of -0.4 c and 0.4 c, respectively. When they collide, they can annihilate each other and turn into two photons. Both muon and antimuon have a mass of 105.66 MeV/c².

A) What is the total energy before the collision?

B) What is the energy of each photon?

C) What is the wavelength of each photon?
