A linear particle accelerator using beta particles collides electrons with their anti-matter counterparts, positrons. The accelerated electron hits the stationary positron with a velocity of 98 x 106 m/s, causing the two particles to annihilate. If two gamma photons are created as a result, calculate the energy of each of these two photons, giving your answer in MeV (mega electron volts), accurate to 1 decimal place. Take the mass of the electron to be 5.486 x 10-4 u, or 9.109 x 10-31 kg.
