According to Albert Einstein, one of the famous scientists who derived
the equation for mass-energy conversion said that, it is possible to
convert Matter into Energy. We know that nuclear power generation is
concerned with the conversion of mass or matter into energy. A very
large amount of energy can be liberated from the matter according to
Einstein's Energy equation.
E=mc2
Where m is the mass and c is the speed of light in vacuum.
This equation is known to everyone who studied physics. But some
months ago when I was checking the statistics of the traffic to my
website I found a search query that made my mind unstable (Search
query: The title of this article). I really appreciate that googler.
Suddenly I called my Physics teacher (Mr. Jobish John) to ask about
the Energy-Mass Conversion. He guide me through the correct way to
understand the energy-mass conversion. (Thank you sir!)
Is it possible to convert Energy to Mass?
We know that, according to Einstein's equation (E=mc2) it is possible
to convert mass into energy. But it still tells us that it takes a
huge amount of energy to generate matter in this way.
Particle accelerators can do this. Particle accelerators are able to
convert energy to subatomic particles.
For example by colliding electrons(-e) and positrons(+e), some of the
kinetic energy in the collision goes in to creating new particles. But
these newly generated particles can't combine to form atoms, molecules
and bigger (less microscopic) structures that we associate with matter
in our daily life. This is why, when you convert energy into matter,
it may contain both matter and antimatter. ie, you can only create
matter-anti-matter pairs out of energy.
You may have heard that anti-matter has a tendency to combine with
matter and turn itself back into energy. That's the reason behind the
non-existence of individual matter or anti-matter particles in
particle accelerators.
Production of matter and anti-matter pair is known as pair production.
Pair production provides a conceptual framework for how our internal
world gets translated into the physical reality we experience. The
phenomenon of pair production can be viewed in two different ways.
One way is as a particle and antiparticle and the other is as a
particle and a hole.
The equation gives basic idea about the pair production.
γ --> (+e)+(-e)
Gama radiation is converted to electron and positron in nuclear
fission reactions. They are unstable, because positron is the
anti-particle of electron.
If a particle accelerator could produce matter and anti-matter pair
from energy its existence cannot continue even for a fraction of
second. When the anti-matter meet the matter they will combine
together and form energy.
In a fiction story I have read that each and every matter (including
soil,wood,body,cloths etc) have its own antimatter in the world. They
are separated by a mysterious force. At the end of the world weakening
of this force will lead to conversion of the whole matter to energy.
The end of World.
