📚Syllabus
• Use Einstein’s mass–energy equivalence relationship 𝐸=𝑚𝑐^2 to calculate the energy released by processes in which mass is converted to energy, for example: (ACSPH134)
production of energy by the sun
particle–antiparticle interactions, eg positron–electron annihilation
combustion of conventional fuel
