What else can I help you with?
Is it true or false beta particle will penetrate deeper into materials than an alpha particle?
False. Alpha particles have a larger mass and charge compared to beta particles, which causes them to interact more strongly with materials. As a result, alpha particles penetrate less deeply into materials compared to beta particles.
Does a beta particle have a zero charge?
The particle that carries the positive charge (a proton) is much more massive than the particle that carries the negative charge (an electron) The charges are equal in magnitude though of opposite polarity.
Which statement about subatomic particles is not true?
Subatomic particles are the same size as basketballs.
Neutron has a charge of plus 1 true or false?
false
Is it true that the negatively charged particles of an atom are nuetrons?
No. The negatively charged particles of an atom are called electrons. Neutrons have a neutral charge.
Why are beta particles more penetrating than alpha particles?
Alpha particles have a mass of 4 amu and a charge of +2, while beta particles have a mass of 1/1800 amu and a charge of -1. As a result, alpha particles are much more likely than beta particles to interact with matter, making it very difficult for them to penetrate anything.Unfortunately, because of their high ionization (interaction) rate, alpha particles are more damaging when they are in close contact with sensitive tissues, such as when alpha emitting materials are ingested. They can be stopped with a few inches of air, a sheet of paper, or even your skin; but inhale or swallow the parent material, and all bets are off, sorry.
Is it true that a Beta particles when passed through a pair of electrically charged plates will be deflected towards the positively charged plate.?
Yes, beta particles, which are high-speed electrons, will be deflected towards the positively charged plate when passing through a pair of electrically charged plates due to their negative charge and the force exerted by the electric field. This deflection occurs because of the interaction between the electric field and the charged particle.
WHAT type of radiation is unaffected by magnetism?
beta radiation is effected by a magnetic Field. A beta particle will bend toward the south of the magnet (+). beta radiation bends because it is made up of a single electron with a negative charge also known as e-. this negative charge means that the beta radiation will bend toward the positive side of the magnetic field.
Will beta particles bend towards the north or south pole of a magnet?
That's going to depend on which pole of the magnet is sticking out towards the beta stream (there are two choices), and also on the direction in which the electrons are flowing past the magnet (there are two choices).
Gamma rays is more energetic when emits alpha or beta?
false
Objects do not need to be touching in order to transfer charge True or false?
True. Charge can be transferred between objects without the need for them to be in direct contact with each other. This can occur through processes such as induction or through the movement of charged particles.
Do particles balance each other when they have an equal numberof positive and negative charges t or f?
True. When particles have an equal number of positive and negative charges, they are electrically neutral and balance each other out. This balance results in no net charge for the particle.
