A rough rule in elementary particle physics is that, in order of increasing rate of reaction, the relevant forces are
A) weak, strong, electromagnetic.
B) strong, electromagnetic, weak.
C) electromagnetic, weak, strong.
D) Hold it! None of the previous responses is valid.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The order of increasing rate of reaction for the forces in elementary particle physics does not match any of the provided sequences. The forces have distinct characteristics and their reaction rates cannot be accurately ranked in a simple linear order without context, as they depend on the specific conditions and particles involved.
