Question:

(a) In an interaction using the virtual particle model, the range of the interaction (1) increases, (2) remains the same, (3) decreases as energy of the exchange particle increases. Why?
(b) If the W particle has a rest energy on the order of 1.0 GeV, what is the approximate range (to two significant figures) for the interaction involving this particle?
