Neutrino Detection – Rankers Physics

Nucleus: Practice Problem & Solution

Assertion (A): It is very easy to detect neutrino in nature. Reason (R): It has high affinity to interact with matter.  
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Nucleus. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Assertion (A) is false; neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect due to very weak interactions. Reason (R) is also false; neutrinos have very low affinity to interact with matter. Therefore, both (A) and (R) are false.
