Hideki Yukawa, who received the Nobel Prize in 1949, is well known for which discovery?
Theory of nuclear forces
The correct answer is Theory of nuclear forces.
Experimental evidence for a particle with approximately the predicted mass came later, first from cosmic ray studies (discovery of the muon, which was initially mistaken for Yukawa's particle, and then the pion) and later from particle accelerators. The discovery of the pion confirmed Yukawa's prediction and validated his theory, leading to his Nobel recognition. Yukawa's work laid a fundamental stone for the development of particle physics and our understanding of the strong interaction.
