Answer 1There are three different types of neutrinos. Each one is associated with its own antiparticle, but is not an antiparticle itself. Answer 2Particle and antiparticle are distinguished by their charges. The positron, for example, the antiparticle of the negatively charged electron, is positively charged. The neutrino, on the other hand, is electrically neutral-the prerequisite for the ability of being its own antiparticle. However, I assume that the antiparticles of neutrinos are neutrinos with opposite spinning direction.

Which particles are not affected by the strong force?

Leptons such as electrons, neutrinos, and their antiparticles are not affected by the strong force. This force only acts on particles that contain quarks, like protons and neutrons.


Is uranium an example of lepton?

1. Uranium is an example of an actinoid; also uranium is a solid metal, radioactive, a natural chemical element. 2. Leptons are elementary particles with a very small mass as: electrons, neutrinos and the corresponding antiparticles.


What is a solar neutrinos?

Solar neutrinos are electron neutrinos that are in the sun. The sun is what produces nuclear fusion.


What are the different flavors of neutrinos and how do they differ from each other?

Neutrinos come in three flavors: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos, and tau neutrinos. These flavors are distinguished by the type of charged lepton they are associated with - electron, muon, or tau. Neutrinos can change between these flavors through a process called neutrino oscillation, which is a unique property of neutrinos.


What is an antiatom?

An antiatom is an atom composed of antiparticles.


Can neutrinos change into other types of neutrinos?

Yes; the scienific terminology for this phenomenon is "neutrino oscillation". Neutrinos exist in three different flavours - electron, muon and tao neutrinos, listed in order of increasing mass (each also has an antiparticle). Although it is not know why this is the case, it was originally discovered that neutrinos oscillate when examining the neutrinos emitted by the sun; although primarily electron neutrinos are emitted as a result of the fusion process within the sun, the quantities of the different flavours of neutrinos detected on Earth from the sun are in roughly equal proportions.


What are the uses of neutrino?

Neutrinos are similar to electrons, but are different, in that neutrinos do not carry electric charges.


What is the name for particles with reversed magnetic polarity?

Particles with reversed magnetic polarity are known as antiparticles. These antiparticles have the opposite charge of their corresponding particles and their behavior is governed by the same physical laws.


How do neutrinos differ from photon?

A photon is a unit of light and has a mass of 0 where is a Neutrino has a small but nonzero mass. Neutrino's are similar to electrons in most regards, except neutrino's have no charge. Where photon's travel at the speed of light neutrino's come close but do not.


What can affect growth?

what can effect your plant growth is the neutrinos. If you have a lot of neutrinos your plant can grow rapidly.


Can neutrinos travel faster than light?

No, neutrinos cannot travel faster than light.


Explanation of missing solar neutrinos?

Neutrinos are incredibly hard to detect so the "absence" of neutrinos doesn't mean they are not there. It was long thought that neutrinos did not decay. We now know they do so. Thus, the lower than expected number of neutrinos detected coming from the Sun has been fully explained. It took four decades but the problem is now fully resolved.
