Thank you.arrow_forwardThere is no direct measure of the mass of the graviton, since it has never been directly observed. However, the fact that clusters of galaxies are gravitationally bound together means that gravity must extend at least to the 1023-meter size of these astronomical objects. Assuming this as a range for the gravitational force, use the uncertainty principle to find maximum mass for the graviton in eV.arrow_forward
