Neutron and proton are themselves not composed of mesons, then how do they emit these particles inside the nucleus?
this is a very dangerous way to approach the effect... electrons or protons are not composed of photons, but they do interact via them in an atom...Bikash Kumar Das said:Neutron and proton are themselves not composed of mesons, then how do they emit these particles inside the nucleus?

by QED... I can't write a book.Bikash Kumar Das said:How electrons & protons interact via photon can you please explain

Thank yousnorkack said:A simple view:
Electromagnetic wave is something you can define as measured at every time and place. Strength and direction of electric and magnetic field.
Yet it is also described as a flux of particles - "real photons".
A proton and an electron are accompanied by electrostatic field. You can measure the electrostatic field (and magnetostatic field) at any place around the proton.
Yet proton´s electrostatic field is not carrying away energy the way electromagnetic waves do.
The notion of "virtual particles" is describing electrostatic and magnetostatic fields as consisting of "particles" the way electromagnetic waves do.
Meson particles are subatomic particles that are composed of a quark and an antiquark. They are considered to be intermediate in mass between the more well-known subatomic particles, such as protons and neutrons, and the even smaller particles, such as electrons.
Meson particles can be emitted from neutrons and protons through a process known as meson decay. This occurs when a higher energy meson particle decays into a lower energy meson particle, releasing energy in the form of the emitted meson.
Meson particles are important in understanding the strong nuclear force, which is responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom. By studying the emission of meson particles from neutrons and protons, scientists can gain a better understanding of how this force works.
Yes, meson particles can be detected using particle detectors, such as cloud chambers or bubble chambers. These detectors allow scientists to observe the tracks of subatomic particles, including mesons, as they move through the chamber.
The emission of meson particles from neutrons and protons can affect the stability of atoms by changing the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. This can lead to a change in the atomic mass and potentially result in radioactive decay.
