Why do alpha particles travel shorter distance in air than beta particles?
Alpha particles are larger and heavier than beta particles, so they interact more readily with air molecules through collisions. This causes alpha particles to lose their energy more quickly and travel shorter distances in air compared to beta particles, which are smaller and lighter. Additionally, alpha particles have a higher ionization potential, leading to more interactions with air molecules and a shorter range in air.
What can alpha particles can pass through?
Alpha particles can pass through very few substances. It can travel in air but has a range of only a few centimetres.
How far does an alpha particle travel?
This depends on their energy. An alpha particle that comes from nuclear decay is usually only able to travel a short distance, a few centimeters, through air. Alpha particles as cosmic rays, however, are much more energetic, and can penetrate quite deeply, even through many meters of solid shielding. These can penetrate the atmosphere.
Why are trails produced by alpha and beta particles seen in cloud chambers?
Alpha and beta particles ionize the air molecules in a cloud chamber as they travel through, leaving a trail of charged particles behind. These ionized air molecules attract water vapor, forming droplets along the path of the particles, which are then visible as trails in the cloud chamber. The trails help to visualize the path and behavior of the particles as they move through the chamber.
How far do alpha particles travel?
Alpha particles have a range of a few centimeters in air and are stopped by a sheet of paper or human skin. Their penetration range in tissue is limited to a few cells.
What blocks alpha particles?
A few millimetres of lead.
What does travel through slowest?
Sound travels slowest through air because the particles in the air are spread apart.
What materials can alpha radiation go through?
Alpha particles have very little kinetic energy, and are fairly safely stopped by a few centimeters of air or something as thin as a sheet of paper. Of course, they can travel unimpeded through a vacuum.
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
Can sound travel were there is no particles?
No, sound waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through. In a vacuum where there are no particles, sound cannot travel because there is no medium for the vibrations to propagate through.
What must sound wave travel on to reach your ears?
sound waves travel through the air particles
