Beta radiation used rather than alpha or gamma radiation in this paper thickness equipment?
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.
What is each type of radiation with the correct description?
Alpha, beta and gamma are three types associated with radioactive decay. Alpha particles are essentially helium nuclei. They are massive, somewhat slow moving particles comprised of two protons and two neutrons. Beta particles are high speed electrons ejected from the nucleus of an atom. Gamma rays are a highly energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. Whereas a sheet of paper is thick enough to protect against alpha particles, a sheet of tin sufficient defense against beta rays, a foot or so of lead (or several feet of concrete) are required to protect against gamma rays. Heat, visible light, and radio waves are other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
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 type of radiation is used for radiotherapy?
Gamma ray
What material can be used to block gamma ray?
gamma is ionizing radiation and the only kind that pass through walls, hence quantum projectiles with is light lasers passing through walls. the normal shielding may be lead, or magnetic shield plates used in x-ray rooms.
Beta radiation used rather than alpha or gamma radiation in this paper thickness equipment?
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.
Why does a kidney scanner use gamma radiation rather than beta or alpha radiation?
since gamma radiation can penetrate more they are used in kidney scanners
What forms of radiation are used medically?
There are three kinds of radiation useful to medical personnel: alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
What are two types of test in which radiation is used to perform medical test?
There are 3 types of radiation used. The first is alpha,beta, and gamma order from weakest to strongest.
How is gamma radiation used in medicine?
gamma radiation is used in cancer treatment. the most common source of gamma radiation is.
Technetium-99m emits only gamma radiation why would this type of radiation be used in diagnostic imaging rather than an isotope that also emits beta or alpha radiation?
Because alpha and beta aren't strong enough to penetrate the skin or something

What is an Alpha Particle used for?
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe alpha rays do not exist. There are alpha particles, and gamma rays, but I do not think alpha rays exist. Alpha particles are most commonly used in smoke detectors, but have been used in the past of kill isolated areas of cancer cells.
An isotope that's element is used in nuclear shields?
Depleted uranium, which is mostly Uranium-238 is used for shielding gamma radiation. Though it is radioactive, it has a very long half life, and is very effective against gamma radiation. The result is that it makes a pretty good shield.
Is californium used for nuclear radiation?
Yes, isotopes of californium emit gamma radiations, alpha radiations and neutrons; on these properties are based the application of californium.
Radiation used to check the thickness if the foil?
Gamma radiation
What does alpha alpha radiation do?
It can be used for smoke detectors
