Problem 3QQ
Choose the best answer to each of the following. Explain your reasoning with one or more complete sentence
What happens when a proton collides with an antiproton? (a) They repel each other. (b) They fuse together. (c) They convert into two photons.
ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1 of 2
When a proton collides with an antiproton they convert into two photons since they are having opposite charges opposite charges attract each other. Like the matter and antimatter collides it too create energy and which can then reconstitute itself into differing particles and antiparticles. They do not repel each other since the charges are different.
