Question

Two particles A and B are identical except that in passing through matter A interacts with a force that is stronger than the one with which B interacts. Which of the following is true when comparing what happens when these particles pass through some material?

A. On average, A will penetrate through more material before interacting than B.

B. On average, A will penetrate through less material before interacting than B.

C. On average, A and B will penetrate through the same amount of material before interacting.

Explanation / Answer

Before interaction both the particle will penetrate the same amount through the material as the two particle are identical. When they will start interaction then they will penetrate the different amount as they interact with different force. So the correct answer is option C.
