Gauge boson quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Gauge boson card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
Photons, W and Z bosons, and ______ are gauge bosons.
Answer
gluons. Photons, W and Z bosons, and gluons are gauge bosons. From the Gauge boson article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Binding energy. Binding energy 60 · Ampere-hour 56 · Gauge boson 50 · Ravelin 46 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Elementary particles whose interactions are described by a gauge theory interact with each other by the exchange of gauge bosons, usually as virtual particles.
- Photons, W and Z bosons, and gluons are gauge bosons.
- All known gauge bosons have a spin of 1 and therefore are vector bosons.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gauge boson article was read about 33,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 50 and blocks with 30: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
How to get Gauge boson
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
