| Particle physics | show 🗑
|
||||
| Big bang | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | High energy particles (mainly protons) that originate in distant parts of the universe (probably in the explosion of stars). They usually decay high in the earths atmosphere.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A device that accelerates charged particles in straight lines
🗑
|
||||
| show | A circular accelerator of charged particles
🗑
|
||||
| show | The force that binds protons and neutrons in nuclei.
🗑
|
||||
| Weak nuclear force | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A particle that has the same rest mass as the corresponding particle but opposite values of all other properties, such as charge. The antiparticle that corresponds to a fundamental particle is also fundamental.
🗑
|
||||
| Quark | show 🗑
|
||||
| Lepton | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The electron, The muon and The tau. ( Each with their corresponding neutrino)
🗑
|
||||
| show | A particle that feels the strong nuclear force.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A particle that feels the strong nuclear force and according to the quark model, is composed of a quark and an anti quark
🗑
|
||||
| show | Particles that feel the strong nuclear force, according to the quark model each baryon is composed of 3 quarks.
🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A lepton that has zero charge and nearly zero rest mass. A different type of neutrino is associated with each type of lepton.
🗑
|
||||
| show | This means that each particle has it's own antiparticle which is equal in mass but opposite in charge.
🗑
|
||||
| Pair Production | show 🗑
|
||||
| Pair Annihilation | show 🗑

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.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
