In nature, there are certain rules and standards for an interaction. These interactions are universally accepted. There are four types of interactions:

Textbook Question

Chapter 34, Problem 14PE

The peak intensity of the CMBR occurs at a wavelength of 1.1 mm. (a) What is the energy in eV at a 1.1−mm photon? (b) There are approximately 10⁹ photons for each massive particle in deep space. Calculate the energy of 10⁹ such photons. (c) If the average massive particle in space has a mass half that of a proton, what energy would be created by convening its mass to enemy? (d) Does this imply that space is “matter dominated”? Explain briefly.
