An alpha particle is identical to?
Alpha particle has same effect with gamma rays in photographic effect ,both can can blacken a photographic film.And it has same effect with beta particles in the effect of electric and magnetic fields, both are deflected by electric and magnetic fields.
Why are beta particles different from cathode ray particles?
Beta particles can be electrons (beta-) or positrons (beta+), along with electron antineutrinos (beta-) or electron neutrinos (beta+). Cathode ray particles are just electrons. Since neutrinos have no charge, they do not interact well with matter. As a result, the electrons from beta- decay are nearly indistinguishable from the electrons in cathode rays, with the possible exception of their velocity.
What are beta rays?
Beta radiation is the name of the particle released in a type of nuclear decay called (naturally) beta decay. The radiation, the particle, is either a high energy electron or a high energy anti-electron or positron. These little guys come out of the decay event like a bullet from a gun, but don't have a lot of penetrating power. They can be stopped by a sheet of aluminum foil.Hit the links below for further information, particularly the one on what beta decay is. As an aside, there is an anti-neutrino or neutrino (respectively) released in the decay events also, but these little dudes don't interact strongly with other particles and just pass right through.
Small piece of matter?
A small piece of matter is known as a particle, which can be as tiny as an atom or subatomic particle. These particles are the building blocks of all matter and come in various forms such as protons, electrons, and neutrons. Understanding the behavior and interactions of these particles is fundamental to fields like physics and chemistry.
How come beta particles are electrons and at the same time they are produced from nuclear which contains only proton and neutron?
They are a product of the weak nuclear force, allowing the decay of neutrons to protons and electrons. They did not preexist in the nucleus before this decay.
What are beta particles emitted from?
Among other things, they are the result of nuclear reactions. Thus, they can be artificially created. Some very high-energy gamma rays come from outer space; it is not always clear how they are created, although it is commonly believed that at least some of them are the result of the creation of black holes.
What is the difference of alpha beta and gamma radiation?
These are types of both particulate and electromagnetic radiation, and alpha and beta are the former while gamma is the latter. Let's look at each one in brief. An alpha particle is a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons all hooked together. It's a helium-4 nucleus, and it's particulate radiation. A gamma ray is electromagnetic radiation (an electromagnetic ray) of very high frequency and energy (which also means very short wavelength). A beta particle is one of two types of particles, either a beta plus particle or a beta minus particle. The beta minus particle is an electron, and a beta plus particle is a positron, or anti-electron (antimatter). Beta radiation is particulate radiation. What is key to understanding these guys is how they are formed. Use the links below to the three questions that specifically speak to the characteristics of each of these types of radiation. These questions are already posted and answered here; no need for repetition.
Where do the electrons come from in proton proton chain reaction if hydrogen has only a proton in its atom?
when the 2 Hydrogen nuclei fuse, one of the protons is changed to a neutron via beta + decay, this produces an atom of Deuterium, a positron (beta + particle) and a neutrino. This positron will only travel a short distance before contacting an electron and annihilating each other to convert their masses and kinetic energies into the energy of the photons. The electron is most probably a free electron, as the high temperatures involved in Nuclear fusion would have provided enough energy to ionise electrons from their parent atom.
How do alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays originate in the nucleus of the atom?
A beta particle is created when a neutron inside an unstable nucleus changes into a proton (or vice versa), losing energy and mass in the form of an electron (or positron), which is the beta particle.
Why do beta particles have a higher ionizing power than gamma particles?
No,Aplha has a helium nucleus,implying that it is inert.Beta is a highly energetic electron,implying it is ionised,hence it can ionize further than that.Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves they dont ionise.However the three particles ionizes other particles they come into contact with.
What year did beta recorders come out?
When did minecraftbeta 1.3 come out in 2012?
Minecraft Beta 1.3 did not come out in 2012. Beta 1.3 was released on February 22 , 2011
