Homework Statement
The results of particle collisions are observed using particle detectors. Sometimes the products of these collisions are themselves unstable and decay to give further particles; the products of decay can be photons.
In one collision, a stationary \pi^\circ meson is produced which then decays to give two gamma ray photons. The rest mass of the meson is 135 \ MeV/c^2.
\pi ^\circ \rightarrow \beta + \beta
Calculate the wavelength of each photon.
Homework Equations
E = hf = \frac{hc}{\lambda}
The Attempt at a Solution
How can I find E? I can carry on from that point but I don't know which equation to use to find E?
