Question
Chapter 46, Problem 1OQ
To determine
What are the interaction that affects protons in an atomic nucleus?
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1OQ
All four given options (a)-(d) are correct. All the given interactions will affect protons in an atomic nucleus.
Explanation of Solution
- (a) The nuclear interaction: The nuclear interaction are force that acts between the nucleons inside the atomic nucleus. Protons in an atomic nucleus will be affected by this interaction.
- (b) The weak interaction: It is a short-range force and it affects fermions. Thus, protons in an atomic nucleus will be affected by this interaction.
- (c) The
electromagnetic interaction: This force can be attractive or repulsive and its acts between charged particles. Protons in an atomic nucleus will be affected by this interaction by repelling each other. - (d) The gravitational interaction: This interaction is long-range force and its strength is very much less than the nuclear interaction. It has negligible effects on proton and other elementary particles.
Thus, all four given options (a)-(d) are correct. All the given interactions will affect protons in an atomic nucleus.
