particals (only things i get wrong when doing questions / not confident on) Flashcards
proton, neutron and electron mass and charges
mass:
- 1.67(3)x10^-27
- 1.67(5) x10^-27
- 9.11x10^-31
charge:
- 1.6x10^-19
- 0
- 1.6x10^-19
what radioactive isotpe do we use to aproximate age
carbon - 14
specific charge equation and unit
specific charge = charge / mass
CKg^-1
name all forces in the nuclues and why 1 is not normaly relevent
strong, weak, electrostatic and gravitaional
gravitational force is negligibal in the nuclues
why is a nuclues’ constituients held together
because the strong force between the subatomic particals in the nulues (attractive) overcomes the electrostatic force bewteen the protons (repulsive) in the nulclues
- what is the raduis of a nuclie
- what is the raduis of an atom
- 1x10^-15. 1fm
- 1x10^10. 0.1nm
describe the stong force (the diagram of the range of the strong force)
the strong force is repulsive between 0 and 0.5fm, is attractive between 0.5 and 3fm and is negligible after 3 fm
does the storng force effect protons and neutrons diffrently?`
no
alpha emmissions happens in _____ _____ _______
very big nulcie
beta emissions happens in ________ ____ _______
nutron rich nuclei
- how was neutrinos dicovered
- 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.
do nutrinos have charge?
no
strong force only effects _______ only
hadrons
what is the only stable baryon
proton
what is the only force that can change quarks
weak force
mesons interact with baryons via the ______ ______
strong force
kaons decay into…
Pions
draw summary of particles classification diagram thing
pg 11 of revision book
leptons dont feel the ______ _____
strong force
leptons interact with other particles via the _____ ______
weak force (along with a bit of gravitational and electromagnetic if charged)
mouns decay into ______
electrons
nutirionos only take part in the _____ _____
weak force
(And gravity but gravity negligible in particular physics)
do baryons have strangness quarks
no
when is strangness conserved and when is it not
strangness is conserved in strong interactions but not in weak interactions (it can change by (0,-1,+1)
