Question

The photon is the field particle that mediates the electromagnetic force between charged particles. The photon transfers energy and momentum from one charge to the other charge during the interaction. In addition, the photon is emitted and reabsorbed without being detected. What name is given to this type of photon?

There are three types of neutrinos --- the electron neutrino, the muon neutrino, and the tau neutrino. Based on experimental measurements, it is known that the electron neutrino flux from the Sun is only about one-third as large as the value that is predicted by the Standard Solar Model. In order to explain this odd result, some physicists have proposed that the each type of neutrino may transform into other types of neutrinos and that, later in time, it may change back again. This effect is known as?

Explanation / Answer

(a). This type of photon are called virtual photons.

(b). The effect is known as Netrino Oscillation.
