Alpha is it ionizing?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
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
Where on the spectrum of electromagnetic waves does alpha radiation fit in?
Alpha radiation is not electromagnetic. It's a stream of helium nuclei.
What is alpha particle detector and what is the application of bjt in alpha particle detector?
A Geiger counter, also called a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. They detect the emission of nuclear radiation: alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays. A Geiger counter detects radiation by ionization produced in a low-pressure gas in a Geiger-Müller tube
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 alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
How is alpha radiation detected?
A zinc sulfide scintillator probe is used to detect alpha radiation. The scintillator probe is just sensitive to alpha 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 it called when radiation destroys atoms?
Ionization
What does alpha alpha radiation do?
It can be used for smoke detectors
Explain why americium-241 would be an ideal isotope to use in a smoke detector?
Alpha particles from americium ionized the air. An air with smoke has a different ionization, ionization currents which are also different are measured, compared and the detector (which is before calibrated) is ready !
What type of radiation is easiest to shield?
Alpha radiation
What type of radiation is the least ionizing?
Alpha radiation.
What type of radiation is in smoke alarm?
alpha radiation
