Question

Which of the following are quanta of a matter field? There might be more than one correct answer. A). Quarks B). Electrons C). Photons D). All of the above

Answer 1

Quanta is the plural of quantum that is the minimum amount of any physical entity (physical property).

A quark is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter.

This means that quarks are the quanta of matter.

Similarly, photons are quanta of the light field and electrons are quanta of the electron field.

But since the question is only asking about the matter field, the correct answer is only option A.

Quarks are the quanta of the matter field.
