Why do alpha particle have higher ionizaion energy than beta particle?
Alpha particles are far more massive. Alpha particle is an (ionized) helium atom, a beta particle is just an electron.
How far does beta travel in air?
Several feet.
Why cant beta particles penetrate very far into solids?
They have low velocity
Use the particle model to explain buoyancy?
The ramp method best explains the particle model as far as buoyancy is concerned.
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 do alpha particle have higher ionizaion energy than beta particle?
Alpha particles are far more massive. Alpha particle is an (ionized) helium atom, a beta particle is just an electron.
Which alpha beta or gamma is the particle with the greatest penetrating depth?
Gamma, as it has the most energy by far.
How far does beta travel in air?
Several feet.
What is difference between beta particle and an electron?
An electron is the basic carrier of the negative electrostatic charge. It has an anti-matter equivalent (an anti-particle) called the positron. Either an electron or positron can be a beta particle. The reason is that beta decay releases a beta particle, and the type of particle will depend on the type of decay. In beta minus decay, the change in an atomic nucleus will release an electron, and in beta plus decay, the nuclear change will release a positron. Use the link below to learn more about beta decay.
How far will beta travel?
That depends on the energy of the beta particles and the medium they are passing through. In air beta can travel several inches to several feet. Beta cannot pass through a single layer of aluminum foil.
What states is the particle are the far apart and move around with high energy?
The highest energy state is gas.
Why is air bending not possible?
Because, as far as I know, people can not move air with their minds.
How far do nuclear particles penetrate into human tissue?
The ability of particulate radiation to penetrate human tissue varies by particle type, and to some degree on the energy of the particle. The three basic types of particulate radiation are the alpha particle, the beta particle and the neutron. Let's look at them. The alpha particle won't penetrate very far at all. As the alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus, it is massive, and it will be stopped by the outer most layers of the skin. As for beta particles, which are electrons or positrons, they can't go much farther. They'll be stopped before much penetration into the skin. That leaves just one other particle: the neutron. Neutrons have an extreme ability to penetrate tissue. They can do some serious damage, and we don't want to be on the receiving end of them. There are some other particle types, but they aren't generally seen outside the physics lab. These are the "big three" types of particulate radiation, you'll find links below to help you discover more.
How do you prestige in the battlefield 3 beta?
You can't. There is no level limit in bf3 beta as far as i know.
What is the smallest particle in physics?
So far, the "quark" is believed to be the most tiny fundamental particle.
Is ios 7 beta out yet for apple?
Yes, we are up to iOS 7 beta 4 so far and this beta is available to iOS developers.
How far away is beta herculis from earth?
beta herculis isa distance of 139 light-years fromEarth
