Concept explainers
To Explain: Bottom set of tracks curve less than the top pair of tracks.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A Bubble chamber is a kind of
The formation of electron-positron pair from
Individual gamma rays produce electrons and positrons simultaneously which curl away in opposite directions in the presence of magnetic field in the bubble chamber. In top part, energy of gamma ray is lost to electron which leaves long track and curl away towards left. In this process, the positron quickly vanishes by reconverting into photons by annihilating with another electron. Gamma rays do not leave any tracks as they are neutral by nature.
