what is the difference between an electron neutrino and a muon neutrino?

Firstly, the mass of electron neutrino is different than muon neutrino. The mass of electron neutrino is less than 2.2 eV and the mass of muon neutrino is less than 170 KeV. ... Most important part is that any flavors of neutrino is created only with its associated lepton.

The main difference between light microscope and electron microscope is that beam of electrons is used for magnifying the image of an object while visible light is used in the light microscope to magnify images of tiny areas of materials or biological specimens.

The most common difference between the two is that while conductors allow free flow of electrons from one atom to another, insulators restrict free flow of electrons. ... Conductors allow electrical energy to pass through them, whereas insulators do not allow electrical energy to pass through them.

The main difference between SEM and TEM is that SEM creates an image by detecting reflected or knocked-off electrons, while TEM uses transmitted electrons (electrons that are passing through the sample) to create an image.

The first type (here referred to as beta decay) is also called Negatron Emission because a negatively charged beta particle is emitted, whereas the second type (positron emission) emits a positively charged beta particle. In electron capture, an orbital electron is captured by the nucleus and absorbed in the reaction.

The most important differences between a transmission electron microscope and a scanning electron microscope are: Rather than the broad static beam used in TEM, the SEM beam is focused to a fine point and scans line by line over the sample surface in a rectangular raster pattern.

It is classified as a lepton. As with other leptons, the muon is not known to have any sub-structure – that is, it is not thought to be composed of any simpler particles. The muon is an unstable subatomic particle with a mean lifetime of 2.2 μs, much longer than many other subatomic particles.

The K shell only holds two electrons. The L shell only holds eight electrons. The M shell only holds eight electrons. The M shell can actually hold up to 18 electrons as you move to higher atomic numbers.

Hadrons are particles that feel the strong nuclear force, whereas leptons are particles that do not. The proton, neutron, and the pions are examples of hadrons. The electron, positron, muons, and neutrinos are examples of leptons, the name meaning low mass. Leptons feel the weak nuclear force.

However, physicists distinguish between atomic and nuclear physics. The atomic physics deals with the atom as a system consisting of a nucleus and electrons. The nuclear physics deals with the nucleus as a system consisting of a nucleons (protons and neutrons). Main difference is in the scale.

Muon neutrino. Small but non-zero. ... Together with the muon it forms the second generation of leptons, hence the name muon neutrino. It was first hypothesized in the early 1940s by several people, and was discovered in 1962 by Leon Lederman, Melvin Schwartz and Jack Steinberger.

Electron microscopes differ from light microscopes in that they produce an image of a specimen by using a beam of electrons rather than a beam of light. Electrons have much a shorter wavelength than visible light, and this allows electron microscopes to produce higher-resolution images than standard light microscopes.

Muons were formerly called "mu mesons", but are not classified as mesons by modern particle physicists (see § History), and that name is no longer used by the physics community. ... Because muons have a greater mass and energy than the decay energy of radioactivity, they are not produced by radioactive decay.

Hadrons − Hadrons are particles that interact using the strong nuclear force. ... Leptons are fundamental particles and so can not be split into any smaller particles. These include: electrons, muons, electron neutrino, muon neutrino, and their respective antiparticles. Quarks Quarks are the particles that make up Hadrons.

Muon, elementary subatomic particle similar to the electron but 207 times heavier. ... It was subsequently discovered, however, that a muon is correctly assigned as a member of the lepton group of subatomic particles—i.e., it never reacts with nuclei or other particles through the strong interaction.

Muons are heavier, having more than 200 times as much mass as electrons. Taus, in turn, are approximately 3,700 times more massive than electrons. Each charged lepton has an associated neutral partner, or neutrino (i.e., electron-, muon-, and tau-neutrino), that has no electric charge and no significant mass.

The major difference between a nova and a supernova is that in a supernova a lot of the object's mass is ejected with the explosion. ... A nova does not destroy its host star whereas a super nova does. Since so much mass is ejected in a supernova it disrupts the star in which it occurs.
