Question

Photon Absorption - 4.19.2016, 1804h : fixed the mistake in choice D. Circle the diagrams in Fig. 1 that could represent the absorption (as opposed to radiation) of a photon by a positron. Keep in mind that “positron” could be represented by an electron.

Figure 1: Choices for the graph(s) representing photon absorption by a positron.

Explanation / Answer

An electron is a negatively charged fundamental particle, and a positron is the same particle, but with a positive charge. A photon is a neutral fundamental particle of light and it interacts with anything that has a charge.

the answer is c.

that is the correct feyman diagram
