The Strong Nuclear Interaction Has a Range of Approximately 0

Multiple Choice

The strong nuclear interaction has a range of approximately 0.70 × 10−¹⁵ m. It is thought that an elementary particle is exchanged between the protons and neutrons, leading to an attractive force. Utilize the uncertainty principle to estimate the mass of the elementary particle if it moves at nearly the speed of light.
