Question
Chapter 31, Problem 3Q
To determine
Why neutrons are good projectiles?
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 3Q
Solution:
The neutrons are neutral particles and carries huge momentum due to its higher mass. That is why it is considered as good projectiles.
Explanation of Solution
Neutrons are neutral thus, it cannot be deflected by electric fields or another charged particles.
Secondly, electrons are massive and thus carry higher momentum.
