Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutrino oscillations refer to the phenomenon in which one type of neutrino can change, or oscillate, into another type of neutrino (e.g. muon neutrino to tau neutrino). This happens due to the fact that the three different types of neutrinos (electron, muon, and tau neutrinos) have slightly different masses, which can interact to cause oscillations.
