Which ray is the fastest gamma alpha beta?
Gamma rays. Since they are electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light.
Three froms of radioactivity are?
Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Alpha and beta are both particles, but gamma is in the form of a wave. Gamma can travel the fathest but Alpha is the most dangerous when in contact with your skin
How far will gamma travel?
Gamma Rays will travel as long as they have energy
What material will stop a gamma particle?
Lead can stop gamma particles really fast because it is so dense. Gamma particles can also be reduced by water.
How does the penetrating ability of gamma rays compare with that of alpha particles and beta particles?
Gamma rays are more penetrating than alpha and beta particles.
Is Primary wave the fastest wave?
i think so.. :/ Travel fastest through rock material causing rock particles in the rock to move back or forth
How many protons does gamma particles have?
None. A gamma ray is energy.
How would you list alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays in order of increasing energy?
Alpha, beta, gamma.
What is a gamma particles penetration ability?
gamma particles have high penetration power they can easily penetrate several feet of steel walls.
Do sound travel faster in water or in air or solids?
Sound can't move in vaccum and need particles to move, it travels fastest in solids as it has highest amount of particles.
What radioactive emission has the greatest penetrating power?
hi my names princess and i think that the answer is GAMMA RAYS if I'm right can you tell me
Differentiate gamma rays from alpha particles?
Gamma rays are very high energy Photons. Whereas, alpha particles are Helium nuclei.
