Question
Answer
show The branch of physics that is concerned with fundamental particles and their interactions.  
🗑
Big bang   show
🗑
Cosmic rays   show
🗑
Linear accelerator   show
🗑
Synchrotron   show
🗑
Strong nuclear force   show
🗑
Weak nuclear force   show
🗑
Antiparticle   show
🗑
show A type of particle that is constituent of Hadrons (i.e, mesons and baryons). Quarks are believed to be fundamental particles.  
🗑
show A fundamental particle that does not feel the strong nuclear force but does feel the weak nuclear force and gravitation. charged leptons are believed to feel the electromagnetic force  
🗑
What 3 types of Leptons are there believed to be ?   show
🗑
show A particle that feels the strong nuclear force.  
🗑
Meson   show
🗑
Baryons   show
🗑
show A fundamental particle that is part of every atom, the charge on an electron is e= 1.602 × 10-19 C. The electron is a member of the lepton family.  
🗑
Neutrino   show
🗑
show This means that each particle has it's own antiparticle which is equal in mass but opposite in charge.  
🗑
show The creation of a particle and it's anti particle  
🗑
show When a particle and an antiparticle meet and they annihilate each other.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
