A positron emission tomography scanner examines the gamma, Ask an Expert

Academics

a positron emission tomography scanner examines the gamma rays emitted when positrons and electrons annihilate each other. since the mass of both the electron and positron is 510 keV/c^2, two 510-keV photon are generated. What is the wavelenth of the photons?
