In physics it ia observed that when matter and anti-matter combine, they form

Correct answer: A. Particles with zero charge

  • A. Particles with zero charge
  • B. Particles with positive charge
  • C. Particles with negative charge
  • D. Particles with dual mass

Explanation

When matter and antimatter collide, the particles destroy each other, with a huge energy release this process is called annihilation. As a result of th, chargeless and massless particles are produced. Depending on the colliding particles, not only is there a great energy release, but new, different particles may also be produced (such as neutrinos and various flavors of quarks). They both lose their own property of Particle and completely become the wave of energy. It means suddenly they disappear producing a huge amount of energy like a bomb during its explosion. We know E = MC2 So we can get a huge amount of energy for losing a negligible amount of mass. And this equation is being applied to produce nuclear energy in nowadays. But we are not able to turn the whole amount of mass into energy by the process of nuclear reaction. It will be possible in the process of matter and antimatter annihilation. The mass of both matter and antimatter will completely turn into the energy during annihilation. And we will get a huge amount of energy, far greater than nuclear energy.

About Nuclear Physics

Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
