No.

Both the photon and the neutrino have zero electrical charge and as such cannot create a charged particle.

Is there anything smaller than a neutrino?

Depends what you mean by "smaller." The mass of a photon is smaller than even that of a neutrino. At a sub-atomic level, concepts like "volume" or "size" become almost meaningless, so it is difficult to say whether the "size" of a neutrino is greater or less than that of, say, an electron.


If you make the electron jump downward then return it to the outer ring what do you notice about the photon released or absorbed?

When an electron jumps downward to a lower energy state in an atom, it releases energy in the form of a photon which is emitted. When the electron returns to the outer ring, it absorbs energy in the form of a photon. The energy of the photon absorbed is equal to the energy of the photon released during the downward jump.


Did the electron neutrinos change to tao or muon neutrinos and become harder to detect?

Possible neutrino change. The electron neutrino is formed by one energy quantum. This particle is characterised by mass wave which is unclosed. Muon neutrino and tauon neutrino are only one particle. This particle is formed by unsymmetrical couple of energy quanta. This particle is characterised by two mass waves (unsymmetrical and unclosed) with length proportion 1:2. Such structure consequence is periodical energy change of particle with energies proportion 3:1 in dependence on time. Both time periods are identical and relatively long. This results of considerations on the theme the Theory of Everything.


What is the process of photon decay and how does it contribute to the understanding of particle physics?

Photon decay is the process in which a photon, a fundamental particle of light, transforms into other particles, such as an electron-positron pair. This process is important in particle physics as it helps scientists understand the interactions and behaviors of particles at the subatomic level. By studying photon decay, researchers can gain insights into the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe.


Where does the particle photon come from?

A photon may be both a particle and a wave (light). Photons are normally emitted when an electron loses energy either by bending its path or by falling from a higher orbital state to a lower orbital state. Very high energy photons called gamma ray can also be formed from a positron and and electron merging.

What state does an electron move to its ground state from in a gaseous atom in order for a photon to be emitted?

In a transition to ground state, a photon is radiated away. It carries off the energy to make a transition to ground state possible. As soon as it is created, the photon is off to the races. It travels away at the speed of light (for the medium in which it is moving).


What happens when a photon strikes an atom?

well thats a theory i believe that will work with space travel or FTL travel,the photon wil make the electrons go crazy,so crazy that the nucleus either dissolves or becomes negatively charged and just flies away with the electrons orbiting the photon,and make matter travel the speed of light,i like to call this particle a "photom"


Which phenomenon is inverse of photoelectric effect?

The inverse of the photoelectric effect is the Compton effect, where a photon interacts with an electron and loses energy in the process. This results in the photon scattering off the electron with a longer wavelength.

A ground-state H atom absorbs a photon of wavelength 94.91 nm and its electron attains a higher energy level?

This will result in the hydrogen atom being in an excited state. The electron must absorb enough energy from the photon to make it into the next energy level. An electron cannot stay 'in between' energy levels. The amount of energy in a photon is given by: E = h*c/lambda [c = speed of light = 3 x 108 m/s; lambda = wavelength in meters; and h = Plancks constant = 4.14 x 10-15 eV*s {eV - electron volt is a unit of energy}] With lambda = 94.91 nm = 94.91 x 10-9 meters; we have E = 13.09 eV From the chart of hydrogen energy levels: 1 -13.61eV 2 -3.4eV 3 -1.51eV 4 -0.85eV 5 -0.54eV it looks like 13.09 eV will be enough to take the electron from level 1 (ground state) up to level 5, but no farther. The exited atom will not stay excited for long and as the electron falls back to it's normal state, it gives off a photon with corresponding energy. I think hydrogen will just go straight back to level 1, but some elements, the electron can jump from level 5 to 4, then 4 to 3, etc. giving off multiple photons with corresponding energy for each photon.

What is a collision claim?

A claim that you make on your own insurance for repairs due to a collision.


What are all the subatomic particles?

All the stuff that's smaller than atoms ... those particles that make up atoms. They are the protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks, neutrinos, etc., including all of the other bosons and leptons.
