How do the electric charges of alpha beta and gamma rays differ?
Alpha rays are positively charged, beta negatively charged and gamma rays is an electromagnetic wave(like light) which has no charge. They have obtained their charges on basis of where they originated from within the atom.
Why gamma rays no charge?
No. Gamma rays are massless and have no charge
How do negatively charged plates affect the path of cathode rays?
negatively charged plates affect the path of cathode rays by repealing the cathode rays.
Anode rays have negative charge?
No, anode rays are not negatively charged. They are positively charged ion.
How Positron emission tomography work?
A tracer courses through the bloodstream to the target organ, where it emits positrons. The positively charged positrons collide with negatively charged electrons, producing gamma rays.
Why are cathode rays deflected away from a negatively charged plate?
Alpha Rays are attracted to a negatively charged plate because they consist of positively charged particles.
True or false gamma rays are negitively charged?
False. Gamma rays are photons (light pieces), and have zero charge.
How are gamma rays readable by photomultiplier-scintillator combinations produced by positron emission tomography?
the tracer courses through the bloodstream to the target organ, where it emits positrons. The positively charged positrons collide with negatively charged electrons,
The behavior of cathode rays in a glass tube containing gas at low pressure led scientists to conclude that the rays were composed of?
Were composed of no charge particles .
How do charged plates affect the path of cathode rays?
The electron particles in cathode rays have a negative charge. So if a plate is positively charged, it would attract the cathode rays, and if it was negatively charged, it would repel the rays.
How do charged plates affect the plates of cathode rays?
The electron particles in cathode rays have a negative charge. So if a plate is positively charged, it would attract the cathode rays, and if it was negatively charged, it would repel the rays.
Why are cosmic rays harmful to living organisms?
Because the cosmic rays consist of charged particles like gamma rays and x-rays
