Best Answer

The material is passed through sieves of progressively finer mesh and each fraction is weighed.

(a sieve is a net , grid or parallel arrangement of wires/plates that lets particles of dimension finer than the mesh size pass while sorting coarser particles into a dedicated container.

What are the applications of sieve analysis?

A sieve analysis test is a procedure to separate fine material from course material by means of a series of woven or perforated surfaces. The proportion of different size particles are recorded. This record is the conclusion of the analysis. Art Gatenby agatenby@cscscientific.com

How do the mass and size of an alpha particle compare with mass and size of beta particle?

The mass and size of an alpha particle compare with the masa and size of beta particle in the sense that the alpha particle is significantly larger in both size and mass that the beta and gamma particles. This is why it is called the alpha particle.
