Question

Name the branch that studies particle behavior.

Answer 1

Particle behavior:

1. Particles in all states of matter are in constant motion and this is very fast at room temperature.
2. Especially the particles in solids vibrate about their fixed positions; even at low temperatures.
3. A small rise in temperature increases the kinetic energy and hence the speed of particles.

Branch dealing with them:

1. Particle Physics is a branch of Physics.
2. It deals with the study of particles that are constituents of matter.
3. It generally deals with the basic constituents of matter and the forces existing between them.
4. Particle Physics deals with the study of these nanoparticles and the study of the behavior of particles when forces act upon them.

Thus, Particle Physics is the branch associated with particle behavior.
