Quantum Physics
Classical physics tells us that light is this.
What is a wave?
These are the particles made up of exactly three quarks.
What are baryons?
Einstein said that matter is just another form of this.
What is energy?
Einstein's most famous theory is this.
What is the theory of relativity?
This is the type of particle that is associated with a force.
What is a gauge boson?
Quantum physics tells is that light is this.
What is a particle?
These are the type of fundamental particle other than quarks.
What are leptons?
On a graph of energy vs rest mass, this is the slope.
What is c2?
This is the term for the change in time experienced by observers that move differently.
What is time dilation?
This is the umbrella term for leptons and hadrons.
What are fermions?
The property of behaving as both a wave and a particle is this.
These are the three types of negatively charged quark.
What are down, strange, and bottom?
This is how much energy is stored in 1kg of matter.
What is 9x1016 J?
A stationary observer and a moving observer both measure different amounts of time. This one measures less time.
What is the moving observer?
This is the particle associated with the strong nuclear force.
What is the gluon?
Electrons surrounding the atom exist in these discrete orientations.
What are energy levels?
Particles that cannot be broken down into smaller components are called this.
What is fundamental?
This is the unit used for very small masses in nuclear reaction.
What is the universal mass unit?
According to Einstein, this moves at the same speed for all observers.
What is light?
This is the type of radioactive decay that emits an electron from the nucleus.
What is beta decay?
This what is emitted when an electron drops to a lower energy level.
What is a photon?
These are the four forces outlined in the standard model.
What are gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear?
This is how much energy is contained in 1u.
What is 931MeV?
One twin gets on a ship that moves at 50 percent the speed of light while the other stays on Earth. After 15 years pass for the Earthbound twin, this much time has passed for the astronaut twin.
What is 12.9 years?
This is the only scalar boson.
What is the Higg's Boson?
