Wet decontamination can block what radiation from being detected?
gamma
Do dosimeter badges detect any exposure to alpha particles when worn by radiation workers?
No, alpha particles will not be detected by dosimeter badges.
What type of radiation is easiest to shield?
Alpha radiation
Which radiation is the most easily absorbed?
alpha radiation :)
What is the weakest type of radiation?
Gamma radiation is the strongest, followed by beta, followed by alpha. So, in answer to your question; alpha is the weakest type of radiation :)

No, alpha particles will not be detected by dosimeter badges.
Is alpha radiation a ionization radiation?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Alpha is it ionizing?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
What is the radiation type for alpha?
Alpha (and beta) radiation is "particle radiation" Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.

What do Small radioactive sources that are present in smoke detectors release?
Radioactive sources release some form of radiation, in the case of smoke detectors the specific type will be alpha radiation- most likely from americium 241. The alpha radiation is a helium nucleus which is highly ionizing but is fairly safe since it can only travel around about 5cm in the air, the act of a stream of alpha radiation being intercepted by CO2 cuts a circuit and is how the CO2 is detected.
Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
What did the alpha scattering experiment reveal?
The alpha radiation in the experiment was detected by using a microscope and a fluorescent screen. When an alpha particle strikes the screen, the coating will fluoresce, and it will give off a "flash" of light. This small flash of light can be picked up by the investigator using the microscope.
What are the names of 2 types of ionising radiation?
Alpha and Beta Radiation are types of ionizing radiation. They are both charged particles though Alpha is heavier than the particle Beta.
What does alpha alpha radiation do?
It can be used for smoke detectors
What type of radiation is the least ionizing?
Alpha radiation.
