Hey everyone! Today, I am going to show you a super cool application of what I introduced to everyone earlier – annihilation reaction. The Casimir effect is a small attractive force that acts between two close parallel uncharged conducting plates, due to quantum vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field, blah, blah, blahhhh.. OK, wake up, don’t fall asleep justContinue reading “Casimir effect”

Series 1 Blog Post 2: Electron-Positron Annihilation As stated before, low energy electron-positron gives rise to two low energy gamma ray photons that move in opposite directions. Gamma rays exist as photons, and so gamma ray is just a photon with a high energy level, but we consider it as low energy level in annihilationContinue reading “Electron-Positron Annihilation”

Series 1 Blog Post 1: An Introduction. The first set of discoveries of an atom, the building blocks of all matter, was made by physicists J.J. Thompson, Ernest Rutherford, Neils Bohr as well as James Chadwick. These brilliant minds are well known for their discoveries and theories of the surface level sub-atomic particles – protons,Continue reading “Annihilation Reactions”

This is a short introduction to me and my aims Hey there, my name is Sneha. I am a student from India and I am currently studying in high school. I have always been a science girl from young ages, even before I knew what science is. I love asking questions, and I particularly enjoyContinue reading “About Me”
