Concept explainers
(a) To determine:
Whether it is possible for a particle to have a lepton and a baryon.
Answer to Problem 16Q
Solution:
A particle cannot have a lepton and a baryon.
Explanation of Solution
A lepton is an elementary particle, not composed of quarks while baryons are made up of three quarks.
Hence, it is not possible that a particle cannot have a lepton and a baryon.
(b) To determine:
Whether it is possible for a particle to have a baryon and a hadron.
Answer to Problem 16Q
Solution:
A particle can have a baryon and a hadron.
Explanation of Solution
Both baryons and mesons come under hadrons. These particles interact via strong interaction. These are composed of quarks, either quark or anti-quark (mesons)or three quarks (Baryons).
All baryons have spin equal to ½ comes under hadron.
Hence, it is possible that a particle can have a baryon and a hadron.
(c) To determine:
Whether it is possible for a particle to have a meson and a quark.
Answer to Problem 16Q
Solution:
A particle cannot have a meson and a quark.
Explanation of Solution
A meson is made up of two quarks.
Hence, it is not possible that a particle cannot have a meson and a quark.
(d) To determine:
Whether it is possible for a particle to have a hadron and a lepton.
Answer to Problem 16Q
Solution:
A particle cannot have a hadron and a lepton.
Explanation of Solution
A lepton is an elementary particle, not composed of quarks while hadrons are made up of three quarks. They both do not interact via strong interaction.
Hence, it is not possible that a particle cannot have a meson and a quark.
