Homework Statement
A particle of mass M decays at rest into a massless particle and another particle of mass m. The magnitude of the momentum of each of these relativistic particles is:
Homework Equations
E = γmc2; p=γmv
The Attempt at a Solution
Pf-Pi = 0; but the particle is at rest, so pi = 0; and the momentum of massless particle = 0;
unable to start up with exact condition. Tried equating initial and final energies also, but not getting the right answer. Please help.
