Which of the following is not a quantum number associated with elementary particles and their interactions?
  a. strangeness
  b. hypercharge
  c. isospin
  d. baryon number
  e. gluon number

Question 2

Examine the muon decay by weak interaction and choose the correct statement about the lepton conservation numbers Le, L, and L .
 
 
a. L = Le = L = 0 for both sides of the equation
  b. L = -1, Le = -1, L = 0 for both sides of the equation
  c. L = 1 for the left side, Le = 1 for the right side, and L = 0 for both sides of the equation
  d. L = -1, Le = 0, L = 0 for both sides of the equation
  e. L = 0, Le = -1, L = 0 for both sides of the equation


Question 3

Answer to Question 1

e.
There is no quantum number governing the behavior of the gluon because the gluon is a gauge boson, or force carrier.

Answer to Question 2

The lepton number for each of the families , electron, and must be conserved in any reaction. Accordingly, the number must be the same on either side of this equation. In this case, an anti-muon and anti-muon neutrino are both -1, and both of the electron family cancel each other on the right side of the equation. The tau number is zero for both sides.
d.

Answer to Question 3

e.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

Pink eye is a term that refers to conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the thin, clear membrane (conjunctiva) over the white part of the eye (sclera). It may be triggered by a virus, bacteria, or foreign body in the eye. Antibiotic eye drops alleviate bacterial conjunctivitis, and antihistamine allergy pills or eye drops help control allergic conjunctivitis symptoms.
