What is the weak interaction responsible for?
Radioactive decay
Gravity
Magnetism
Light
Answer
Radioactive decay is a process in which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation, resulting in the transformation of the atom into a different element. The weak interaction, one of the four fundamental forces in nature, is responsible for this decay. It governs the interactions between subatomic particles, such as electrons, neutrinos, and quarks, and plays a crucial role in the processes that drive radioactive decay.
