Quarks are held together by:
Consider the following statements:
1. Neutrinos are massless, charged particles that travel at near-light speed.
2. Both neutrinos and antineutrinos are produced in a fusion reaction.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
. Neutrinos are chargeless elementary particles that travel close to the speed of light.
. Neutrinos are created in nuclear reactions of beta decay.
. Neutrinos have a negligible, but nonzero mass.
. Trillions of neutrinos pass through the human body every second.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
A team of scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory, including those from India, created the heaviest antimatter (anti-helium nucleus). What is/are the implication/implications of the creation of antimatter?
1. It will make mineral prospecting and oil exploration easier and cheaper.
2. It will help probe the possibility of the existence of stars and galaxies made of antimatter.
3. It will help us understand the evolution of the universe.
