Q

why is a nuclues’ constituients held together

A

because the strong force between the subatomic particals in the nulues (attractive) overcomes the electrostatic force bewteen the protons (repulsive) in the nulclues

Q

describe the stong force (the diagram of the range of the strong force)

A

the strong force is repulsive between 0 and 0.5fm, is attractive between 0.5 and 3fm and is negligible after 3 fm

Q
  1. how was neutrinos dicovered
A
  1. beta particles emmitted in beta decay had a range of Ek when observed after the same interaction, where there is a fixed amount of enegy relesed in the decay of _____ . therefore there must have been a 3rd particle (neutrino) carrying the missing energy to keep energy and momentum conserved in the interaction.

Q

leptons dont feel the ______ _____

A

strong force

19
Q

leptons interact with other particles via the _____ ______

A

weak force (along with a bit of gravitational and electromagnetic if charged)

20
Q

mouns decay into ______

21
Q

nutirionos only take part in the _____ _____

A

weak force

(And gravity but gravity negligible in particular physics)

22
Q

do baryons have strangness quarks

23
Q

when is strangness conserved and when is it not

A

strangness is conserved in strong interactions but not in weak interactions (it can change by (0,-1,+1)

24
what is the charge of a strange quark and strangness number
-1/3 and -1
25
mesons contain what 2 quarks
quark and antiquark
26
draw a matrix diagram of kaon and mesons and there values
pg 14 of revision book
27
is it possible to get a quark on its own
no - this is quark confinment
28
what is a exchange partical called
gauge boson
29
give gauge boson for: 1. electromagnetic 2. weak 3. strong
1. γ (virtual photon) 2. W+ and W- 3. pions (π+ πo π-)
30
weak force effects ____ ______ ___ _______
all types of particals
31
in exchange diagrams W bosson carrys _____
charge (therefore the direction of the W+ or W- boson is the direction that the respective charge is being transferd to)
32
give electron capture equation Give beta minus decay Give beta plus decay
P + e- = n + Ve n = p + e- + (anti)ve p = n + e+ + ve
33
what is produced in annialation
2 gama photons
34
kaons are produced through the _____ _____ and decay through the ______ ______ This means they are produced in ______
strong force, weak force Pairs
35
are k(O) and anti k(O) the same partical
no they have diffrent strangness and diffrent quarks
36
line emission spectra contains ______ ______ __ ____ while continues spectra contains ___ ______ ________
specific wavelenths of light all possible wavelenths
37
line absorbtion spectra occure when ____ _____ is incedent on _____ _______ gass the gass has to be low tempreture because most of its _____ are at _____ _____ electrons can only absord photons with enegie levels equal to the _______ _______ ___ _____ ______ line absorbtion specra have all but ______ ______ which are the ______ that were ______ __ ___ ______
white light, low tempreture electrons, ground state diffrence between two enegie levels specific wavlenths, wavelenths, absorbed by the electrons
38
what is ionisation
the removal or adition of electrons form or to a atom
39
does an up quark have a baryon nomber of 1
no baryon nombers are descrete (can only have integers) thereofre 2/3 baryon nomber dont exist no
