(a) As the photon has to be created two particles of equal mass and they have no energy due to motion implying their velocity is zero. Thus according to law of conservation of energy,
where m0 is the mass of each particle.
(b) As they fall down they would gain an energy mgh, where m = m0 =rest mass. As they were at rest, the velocity with which they fall is not relativistic.
is the total energy of the particle downstairs. Now at the time of annihilation, according to law of conservation of energy
Thus frequency of this photon is higher, because due to the attraction of gravity, energy of photon increase.
(c) To create pair of same mass again, the photon must have the same energy as the old photon and as it goes back to height h. Thus energy loss will be,
Change in frequency while climbing up the height will be,
Yes it again agrees that formula we derived in class.
