Thanks for your reply.
If I use E = hf then I end up with the equation mc^2 = h(f1+f2) where fi is the frequency of the ith photon and m is the mass of the pion. I don't really understand what I need to show. From the first hint I assumed I needed to show E = |p|c for each photon so that's...
I wasn't sure whether this question should go in advanced or introductory physics but I decided to post here since it doesn't involve any complex maths.

Part 1
Consider a neutral pion at rest. On the basis of conservation of energy and momentum alone, show that it is...
Hi all,
I'll be starting my final year of my undergraduate degree in pure mathematics next year. My intention is to do postgraduate work and then try to get a position as a research fellow. However, I don't really know what a research mathematician does on a day to day basis, I just like the...
