What force holds an oxygen atom to another in O2?A] gravityB] electromagnetic forceC] strong nuclear forceD] weak nuclear force The strong nuclear force occurs because of the exchange of massive “mesons” between protons/neutrons. We will discuss the constituents of mesons protons neutrons shortly.  Through careful experimentation, you discover a force of attraction between two people. It only acts over a short range! There is no force if the separation is 1 m. In keeping with physical nomenclature, you call this force “smell”. There are apparently two smells, “nice” and “nasty”. Like attracts like. What is the mass of the odoron, the quantum of the smell field?A] zeroB] smaller than an electronC] about as big as a strongly flavored quarkD] the same as a ton of bricks The mass of the exchange particle is only one possible limitation on range (through the Heisenberg uncertainty.)The force will have a short range if the energy required for “long range action” exceeds the Heisenberg limit. This is the case with quark-quark interactions.Because the gluon carries color “charge”, a gluon field emits more gluons. The energy in all these gluons must be considered in the Heisenberg limit… in other words, there is an “effective mass” that you get when you take into account all the interaction energy.This is why a) the color force is finite range and  b) color cannot be isolated.
