Gravitons Energy: Range & Dependence on Scientists

In summary, there are theories that suggest masses and charges transfer force through gauge bosons. The photon is a gauge boson responsible for electromagnetic force, with qualities of having no mass and behaving as both a particle and a wave. The energy of a photon is determined by its frequency and can range from radio waves to gamma rays. Similarly, there is a theory about gravitons, which behave similarly to photons but couple to mass. Their energy is expected to be much smaller than photons. There is no proposed range for the energy of gravitons yet and their existence is still being studied by scientists.

There is theory that masses like charges are transfering force gague bosons.
According to charges they transfering the boson called photon between the charges and responsible for the electromagnetic force. Photones qualities are that it doesn't have mass and behave like a particlee and also as a wave, the energy of the photon is depend on the frequancy of the wave (Eph=hf)
and its range is between radio waves to gamma rays.

There is a simillar theory according the gravitational force about gague bosons that didn't discover yet that called Gravitons
they transferred between masses and their qualities simillar to the photones but the energy of the gravitons needed to be a lot smaller than the photones`s due to the theory.

Does there is any proposition about the range of energies the gravitions would have?
And depend on what scienticts get those values?

You got the terms mixed up.

Forces can be described as the exchange of gauge bosons. Those gauge bosons couple to particles with the corresponding charge, e. g. the electric charge for the photon.
Photons do not have mass, right, and their energy depends on the frequency. Their range does not have limits, just our naming scheme has - everything below some frequency is called radio waves, and everything above some energy is called gamma rays.
DaniV said:
and behave like a particlee and also as a wave
That can be a problematic model.

Gravitons, if they exist, behave similarly, but couple to mass (more precise: the stress-energy tensor). They are also not limited in their frequency range, but most systems would emit them at very low frequencies, like the orbital period of binary star systems for example.

1. What are gravitons and how do they relate to energy?

Gravitons are hypothetical particles that are believed to be the carriers of the force of gravity. They are predicted by the theory of quantum mechanics and are thought to be responsible for transmitting gravitational energy.

2. What is the range of graviton energy?

The range of graviton energy is believed to be infinite, meaning it can act over any distance. However, the strength of the gravitational force decreases as the distance between objects increases.

3. How is the dependence of graviton energy on scientists measured?

The dependence of graviton energy on scientists is not directly measurable since gravitons are still theoretical particles. However, scientists can study the effects of gravity and make predictions based on the theory of gravitons.

4. Are gravitons the only source of gravitational energy?

No, gravitons are not the only source of gravitational energy. The theory of general relativity also plays a major role in describing the behavior of gravity.

5. How does our understanding of gravitons impact our understanding of the universe?

If gravitons are proven to exist, it would greatly advance our understanding of the fundamental forces of the universe. It would also help to reconcile the theories of quantum mechanics and general relativity, which are currently incompatible.
