Hint
Answer
What is the type of nuclear radiation with the highest specific charge
Beta
Describe pair production
A photon is converted into a particle and its corresponding antiparticle
What is the rest mass of a Gamma ray
Zero
Define specific charge
charge / mass
What happens to the nucleons during beta minus decay?
A neutron changes into a proton
What is a Beta particle?
A high energy electron
What is a nucleon?
A proton or neutron in the nucleus
Why is the strong nuclear force required for nuclei to be stable?
Electrostatic repulsion of the protons in nucleus.
Hint
Answer
What can be transferred by an exchange particle
Force, energy, momentum and charge.
Describe electron capture
An inner shell electron is absorbed by a proton in the nucleus. The proton is converted to a neutron and a neutrino is produced
What is the exchange particle associated with Beta decay
The W boson
What is the exchange particle of the electromagnetic force
Virtual photon
