The reason behind Yukawa’s conclusion about the nonzero mass of carrier particle of strong force.
Answer to Problem 1FTD
From the non-zero value of mass calculated from uncertainty principle, Yukawa concluded that the nonzero mass of carrier particle of strong force.
Explanation of Solution
Initially, Yukawa assumed that strong force is also mediated by some particles similar to case of
Write the uncertainty principle in terms of energy of particle and time.
Here,
Write the equation for maximum distance that can be travelled by the particle using the energy
Here,
Rewrite the above relation by substituting the previous relation for
Rewrite the above relation in terms of
For
Conclusion: Therefore, from the non-zero value of mass calculated from uncertainty principle, Yukawa concluded that the nonzero mass of carrier particle of strong force.

- Calculate the mass in GeV/c2 of a virtual carrier particle that has a range limited to 10−30 m by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Such a particle might be involved in the unification of the strong and electroweak forces.arrow_forwardMore than 60 years ago, future Nobel laureate Sheldon Glashow predicted that if an antineutrino — the antimatter answer to the nearly massless neutrino — collided with an electron, it could produce a cascade of other particles. The Glashow resonance phenomenon is hard to detect, in large part because the antineutrino needs about 1,000 times more energy than what's produced in the most powerful colliders on Earth. Let's compare this event to an ordinary baseball with a mass of 146 g. Please use three significant figures in your calculations. 1.What is the threshold antineutrino energy for the Glashow resonance in peta electronvolts (PeV)? 2.What is this threshold energy in units of joules? 3.Now consider a baseball with the same kinetic energy as that of the Glashow resonance. What speed in m/s would correspond to this energy? 4.What is this rate in units of inches/second? please help!!arrow_forwardWhat lifetime do you expect for an antineutron isolated from normal matter?arrow_forward
