A gamma ray is a very high speed particle with no charge?
Sort of. A gamma ray is a photon, which is a particle/wave moving at the speed of light, because it is light.Photons are the gauge particles for the electromagnetic force, but they don't carry an electric charge themselves.
What is the force that holds atoms together called?
The question is ambiguous.The primary force between distinct atoms that holds them together is the electromagnetic force (there's also gravity, but that's much much weaker). The communicating particle (aka "gauge particle") for the electromagnetic force is the photon.Several forces play a part in holding an individual atom together. Electrons are bound to the nucleus by the electromagnetic force. The individual nucleons (protons and neutrons) are composed of quarks held together by the strong nuclear (or "color") force, and the nucleons are bound together in the nucleus by the residual strong nuclear force. The gauge particle for the strong force is known as the gluon.
What makes up radiant energy?
In most contexts radiant energy would be assumed to be made up of electromagnetic radiation, such as light. The force carrier for electromagnetic radiation is a massless fundamental particle, the photon.
Does the strong nuclear force have charges like the electromagnetic force does?
No. The strong nuclear force works through the exchange of a subatomic particle called a meson. Additionally, the strong nuclear force has to hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, so having a charge would have no effect on the neutrons.
What is a photon How does it work What is a photon's part in magnetism?
What: a photon is the boson that carries the electromagnetic force.How: I'm not sure there is an answer to this, the particle is a boson and carries a specific quanta of energy.What part: it carries the electromagnetic force in both electric and magnetic interactions between the objects involved.
How can you measure the mass of a photon?
One method is to determine the effectivity of the electromagnetic force over a distance. The electromagnetic force acts over an infinite distance and therefore the photon, the particle that mediates the electromagnetic force, is massless.
What is a Z particle?
A Z particle is another name for the Z boson - a fundamental particle which, together with the W boson, mediates the weak nuclear force. It has a charge of 0.
Which subatomic particle accounts for magnetism?
The photon is responsible for mediating the electromagnetic force. This includes both electricity and magnetism (both of which are manifestations of the electromagnetic force.) Interestingly, the photon is also the particle responsible for light, which is an electromagnetic wave.
What is the opposite of a photon?
There is no known opposite of the photon. The photon is the basic unit of all electromagnetic radiation, just with different wavelengths, and the photon is a guage boson which mediates the electromagnetic force.
What is the virtual exchange particle used by electromotive force?
Electromotive force = electromagnetic force The photon (γ)
Photon does not have charge then how does it have electromagnetic field?
Well one way to look at it is that a photon IS an electromagnetic field. The photon is the gauge particle for the electromagnetic force. Without photons there would be no electromagnetic interaction force, and therefore no electromagnetic fields.
Is a photon a particle of light?
It's the basic unit of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. If you're asking if it's "light" in the weight sense, yes. It has a rest mass of zero; you can't get lighter than that.
What is a Z boson?
A Z boson is fundamental particle - a gauge boson which, together with the W boson, mediates the weak nuclear force. It has a charge of 0.
What is a Z-boson?
A Z-boson is a fundamental particle, a gauge boson, which, together with the W-boson, mediates the weak nuclear force, and has a charge of 0.
What is the electromagnetic force transmitted by?
Electromagnetic force is transmitted by photons. Photons are a particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. It carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass.Ê
How does a positive charge attract a negative charge?
The exchange particle for electromagnetic force is the photon. It carries the force. This force is mathematically described by Coulomb's Law.
Where is the photon on the eye?
A photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force, even when static via virtual photons. The photon is not on the eye.
