Answer

a). The right answer is (3) decreases, because if energy increases, the mass increases, and the range is inversely proportional to the mass. b). $1.98\times10^{-16}m$

Work Step by Step

a). The right answer is (3) decreases, because if energy increases, the mass increases, and the range is inversely proportional to the mass. b). $R=\frac{h}{2\times pi\times m_{m}c}$ Also, $\Delta E=m_{m}c^{2}$ So, $R=\frac{hc}{2\times pi \times \Delta E }$, where $\Delta E=1 GeV=1.6\times10^{-10} J$ $R=\frac{6.634\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{2\times pi \times 1.6\times10^{-10}}$ Hence, calculating for R, $R=1.98\times10^{-16}m$
