Alpha. Beta particles are blocked by a few mm of aluminum and gamma by a few cm of lead. Alpha. Beta particles are blocked by a few mm of aluminum and gamma by a few cm of lead.
they are the 3 types of radiation: alpha is the weakest and can be stopped by paper,beta is the medium strength and can be stopped by aluminum and gamma is the strongest and can only be stopped by several millimeters of lead gamma is the only radiation that is able to pass through anti radiation suits altha beta anf gamma are also the first 3 letters of the greek alphabet
Highest penetration: Gamma (y) Second highest: Beta (B)Weakest penetration: Alpha (a)Explanation: The relative penetrating abilities of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. The heavy, highly charged alpha particles are stopped by a piece of paper (or the skin). The lighter, less highly charged beta particles penetrate paper, but are stopped by a 0.5-cm sheet of lead. Because gamma rays have no charge and no mass, they are the most penetrating, but can be stopped by several centimeters of lead.
Gamma rays can be blocked by a thick amount of lead. Alpha -> goes through thin mica -> then stops at skin or paper. Beta -> Goes through thin mica - then goes through skin or paper -> gets stopped at lead. Gamma -> Goes through thin mica -> goes through skin or paper -> then can be slowed down by lead or can be stopped completely by a thick amount of lead. I may have Beta and alpha mixed up but please excuse me as im writing this out of my book (:
Nuclear radiation is radiation that is emitted by atomic nuclei in various nuclear processes ( fusion...). There are three types of nuclear radiation:- 1)Alpha----> the least penetrating of all, it can be stopped by a sheet of paper. 2)Beta----> more penertrating than alpha, less penetrating than gamma, can be stopped by an aluminum sheet. 3) Gamma-----> most penetrating, can be stopped by meters of concrete.

Yes, Alpha radiation could be stopped by normal paper.
Alpha radiation is absorbed by a sheet of paper; beta radiation is absorbed by a person; gamma radiation is absorbed by a stell wall. However, small amounts of gamma radiation can still be absorbed by a person.
First of all its a Alpha particle, and a gamma wave, Paper can stop alpha, and nothing can stop gamma, but it is slowed down by lead, and concrete.
No. An alpha particle can

Alpha.
beta radiation used in this paper thickness equipment because alpha and gamma are very strong radiation which can not be used for paper thickness equipment such as paper are used by every one and it could cause radiation if other nuclear radiation like alpha and gamma are used.
Alpha particles, which consist of two protons and two neutrons; Beta particles, which consist of one electron; Gamma rays, which is the highest frequency of electromagnetic radiation, has no mass, and is not made up of any subatomic particles. Alpha particles con be stopped by a mere piece of paper; Beta particles can pass through paper but can be stopped by aluminum foil; Gamma rays can pass through paper and aluminum foil, and can only be stopped by lead or concrete.
