Question

Usually solar neutrinos are detected by observing Cherenkov Radiation in very large tanks of water. This form of radiation results when a:

1) neutrino gives an electron energy that causes it to move faster than light that is passing through with the result of a weak glow that can be detected

2) neutrino gives an electron energy that causes it to move slower than light that is passing through with the result of a weak glow that can be detected

3) neutrino gives an proton energy that causes it to move faster than light that is passing through with the result of a weak glow that can be detected

4) neutrino gives an proton energy that causes it to move slower than light that is passing through with the result of a weak glow that can be detected

Explanation / Answer

2) neutrino gives an electron energy that causes it to move slower than light that is passing through with the result of a weak glow that can be detected
