Yes, beta energies are "stronger" than visible light. Beta is in the x-ray portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, placing it above visible light.

Which one is not a type of nuclear radiation.. Alpha particles Beta particle Neutron or Visible light?
All of them - alpha - beta - neutron - visible light - are examples of nuclear radiation.
Which is stronger alpha or beta?
it is
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum does the sun produce?
Electromagnetic radiation is a continuous spectrum of wavelengths from thousands of kilometres to wavelengths the size of fractions of an atom. They are all the same kind of radiation - the differences are only the wavelengths. They range from the longest - radio waves, then microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultra violet light, X-rays and gamma rays. The sun emits all of these apart from gamma rays.
Is the statement the sun only gives off visible light correct?
False. The Sun radiates electromagnetic energy in all parts of the spectrum, not just the tiny sliver that is "visible light". Additionally, the Sun gives off hard radiation in the form of alpha and beta particles, and a considerable "solar wind" of charged atomic nuclei.
How is EM radiation different from alpha and beta radiation?
EM radiation is essentially high energy light, with wavelengths ranging from 10 nanometers low energy x rays to 10 picometers high energy gamma rays. Beta radiation refers to high speed electrons while an alpha ray is a high speed proton.

Does electromagnetic spectrum only include visible light?
No, it includes alpha, beta, gamma, x-rays and ultraviolet rays also. In other words it includes the visible as well as non-visible light spectrum.

Which elements emit radiation in the visible part of the spectrum?
Radioactive elements such as radium or uranium emit radiation. There are three types of "radiation"; alpha particles (which are solitary electrons), beta particles (helium nuclei, consisting of two protons and two neutrons) and "gamma radiation", which is high-energy electromagnetic energy similar to light or X-rays.
Using a 2-cm-thick piece of cardboard over a radiation source would be most effective for protecting against which type of radiation?
Alpha i think and maybe beta. it will be beta because alpha can be stopped with a sheet of paper while beta is stronger but gamma will pierce rite through a 2-cm cardboard
What type of radiation travels more than 6cm in air?
Gamma radiation is the only one, except for radio, heat, visible light, and ultraviolet light.
How does magnetism effect gamma radiation?
No. Gamma rays are photons (light particles). Photons are particles with no mass, no charge and no magnetic moment.
How far away is beta herculis from earth?
beta herculis isa distance of 139 light-years fromEarth
How many light years away is Beta Centaur?
That would be "Beta Centauri". Wikipedia lists its distance as 350 ± 20 light-years. Wolfram Alpha lists a the distance as 397.4 light-years.
