What else can I help you with?
What are the names of the three main types of radiation?
The three main types of radiation are alpha radiation, beta radiation, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of alpha particles, beta radiation consists of beta particles, and gamma radiation consists of gamma rays.
Which is not considered a raditional ray gamma beta alpha or infrared?
Alpha and beta are not electromagnetic radiation.
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 is an Alpha ray?
An alpha ray is a type of radioactive decay product that consists of two protons and two neutrons, which is essentially a helium nucleus. Alpha rays have low penetration power and can be stopped by a piece of paper or human skin.
Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Electrons are not directly involved in the creation of alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei (2 protons and 2 neutrons), beta radiation is made of electrons (beta-minus) or positrons (beta-plus), and gamma radiation is a high-energy electromagnetic 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.
Is gamma not considered a type of radiation ray?
Actually, gamma is the ONLY type of radiation ray. Since the three types of radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays, and the other two are particles, technically, gamma rays are the only radiation rays. If that is not what you are looking for, then I recommend rephrasing your question.
Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
How different alpha and beta radiation from gamma rays?
I'm not sure there are quantifiers for "difference", but "completely" comes close. Alpha and beta radiation is (massive) particle based, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation ... technically this is a particle (photons), but photons have zero invariant mass. Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus on the run. Beta radiation is an electron on the run. Gamma radiation is a very high energy "light" ray (electromagnetic radiation).
What one of these is not particle proton neutron alpha gamma ray or a beta particle?
The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an EM wave that transmits energy.
What is a stream of particles containing 2 neutrons and 2 protons called?
alpha ray Stream of particles containg two neutrons is, I believe: Alpha Ray
