A pion has a rest energy of 135 MeV. It decays into two gamma-ray photons, bursts of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light. A pion moving through the laboratory at v = 0.98c decays into two gamma-ray photons of equal energies, making equal angles θ with the original direction of motion. Find the angle θ and the energies of the two gamma ray photons.
