3 / 10

What is the primary evidence for the existence of quarks within hadrons?

4 / 10

What phenomenon explains the increasing force between quarks as their separation increases?

5 / 10

What is the spin of the gluon, the mediator of the strong force?

6 / 10

What is the binding energy per nucleon in an atomic nucleus with a mass defect of 0.05 atomic mass units (amu)? (1 amu = 931 MeV/c²)

7 / 10

A nucleus has 12 protons and 12 neutrons. If the strong force binding energy is 7 MeV per nucleon, what is the total binding energy of the nucleus?

8 / 10

Calculate the radius of a nucleus with a mass number of 125. (Use R = R₀A¹/³, where R₀ = 1.2 fm).

9 / 10

The cross-section for a strong interaction in a hadron-hadron collision is 10 mb (millibarns). How many events are expected if 10²⁴ particles are incident on a target containing 10²³ particles? (1 barn = 10⁻²⁸ m²)
