Can antiparticlees be seen or can they only be detected?
That is not correct, and would be like saying you can't see atoms because they are smaller than the wavelengths of visible light.G01 said:WWe can't really "see" electrons in the sense that we see them with our eyes by detecting light bouncing off of them. That can't happen, since electrons are much smaller than the wavelengths of visible light.
No, antiparticles are not visible to the naked eye as they are much smaller than atoms and cannot be seen with standard microscopes. However, they can be detected and studied using specialized equipment and techniques.
Antiparticles are made of the same fundamental particles as regular matter, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. The difference is that antiparticles have opposite charge and spin compared to their regular counterparts.
Antiparticles can be created through high-energy collisions, such as in particle accelerators, or through natural processes like radioactive decay. They can also be produced in small quantities through certain chemical reactions.
Yes, antiparticles can exist in our everyday environment, but they are very rare. They are constantly being created and destroyed in small amounts due to natural processes and cosmic rays.
Antiparticles have significant implications in particle physics and cosmology. They help us understand the fundamental properties of matter and the origin of the universe. In practical applications, antiparticles are used in medical imaging and cancer treatment.
