a)

Top

b)

Positron

c)

Photons

d)

11.

Why was the term "colour" chosen to describe a trait of a particle that interacts with the strong force?

a)

Because all particles have different colours, due to their varying spin

b)

Because the emitted gluons can excite electrons, producing colour

c)

Because the strong force creates different bonds between quarks, each analogous to a different colour

d)

Because colour is the most easily used analogy to describe the SU|3| symmetry of the strong force
