Q112 / 120 · VITEEE 2014 · Physics

Following process is known as $h v \longleftrightarrow e^{+}+e^{-}$

  • Correct answer
    A
    Pair production
  • B
    photoelectric effect
  • C
    Compton effect
  • D
    Zeeman effect

Solution

The creation of an elementary particle and its antiparticle usually from a photon (or another neutral boson ) is called Pair production. This is allowed, provided there is enough energy available to create the pair. Figure

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
