Question

What process is illustrated in this diagram? A). The annihilation of a particle and its antiparticle to make two photonsB). The evaporation of a black hole C). The formation of an atom with a positive nucleus and a negative electron D). The creation of two photons from pure energy

Answer 1

Given a diagram of the creation of two photons.

In the diagram, an electron and a positron are combined to form two photons.

The electron is a matter. And positron is antimatter. In the diagram upon combining these two, pure energy is formed.

Thus, the diagram represents the annihilation of the particle(electron) and its antiparticle(positron) to form two protons.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
