Recently scientists have discovered how to contain an anti-hydrogen atom, an element made of an anti-proton and an anti-electron, both of which have the same mass as their real matter counterparts. When anti-matter and matter collide, they annihilate each other and form pure energy. How much energy is given off when anti-hydrogen and hydrogen atom collide?   Question 13 options:   1260 MeV   1880 MeV   720 MeV   940 MeV
