What's a similarity between hadrons and leptons? The only thing I could think of was conservation of lepton number and conservation of baryon number. Also how many marks for you think I would lose?

This argument is so ****ing stupid.

Electrons and protons also have mass, we don't get crushed by them do we?

Plus photons have momentum, so they can still cause impact

Seriously. Don't argue something if you don't genuinely know the answer

Dude calm down! For our exam photons have no mass, might not be strictly true but they have no mass. Also your argument about electrons and protons; they do push down on us, that causes pressure

Light are photons, If photons have mass we should be crushed by the weight of light... either they dont have mass or were all made of diamond hmmm

e=mc² e=hf

m=hf/c² ... you can approximate all photons as 'bullets' each carrying a mass of m = hf/c^2 and traveling at the speed of light.

Both have antiparticles
Both have mass
Both decay/can interact via the weak force
Both (can) have (a discrete amount of) charge

Didn't get the conservation laws one though! Damn

For all of a question I did 1 d.p./ 2s.f, because the data in the question was. However loads of my answers on my calculator gave me a 2 dp number with a 5 as the second dp, so I rounded all my answers up. Will I lose any marks for this?

I said that both can interact via the electromagnetic force and gravity, as there exist hadrons and leptons with charge, and they all have mass.

the Oscilloscope question was 16V per division and 2ms per division, and it was out of 3 marks, does anyone know what the 3rd mark was for?

zeroing the oscilloscope ?

Yeah that question for A I put a down quark.

i just put d... will i still get the mark?

Haha sorry.

Yes they don't have mass. They have momentum. I never said they have mass.

I have no idea where you're going with electrons and protons

No they don't. Hadrons -strong interaction. Leptons-weak interaction. :confused:

Turning timebase on?
Adjusting y/x gain?
Connecting oscilloscope input to a power source?
Putting oscilloscope in parallel with resistor?

2. One for working, one for the answer

I hope to God you're trolling. How did you even attempt this paper with such an ignorant outlook?
No they don't have electrons or protons.
No, there is a different equation for the momentum of a photon, based on planck's constant

the photon is governed NOT by its mass or its velocity but by its relation to frequency e=hf so its so called 'momentum' does not create the impact but the frequency of light it is coming with

Yes they do.

Hadrons DECAY via the weak force, so they experience it. They interact with the strong force though.

Leptons only interact via the weak force.

For a previous 6 mark oscilloscope question you got a mark for saying 'connect it to the source' so I put that. Don't think it was right though :/

Oh my God, why couldn't I think of that. Do you think I'll get any marks for the conservation laws??

They can actually decay via the weak nuclear force. There's nothing on the spec about it, but the weak interaction acts on all fermions - particle with half integer spin, so that's leptons, neutrinos, hadrons etc.

Mr.Suhk

i think it was mainly for the time base setting being 2ms/div and possibly for saying time period of 2 waves is 20ms

Now it is clear. I thought you said they both experience the same force.
