What else can I help you with?
Is there a material that reacts with either alpha or beta particles?
Alpha anf beta particles are two kinds of ionizing radiation. Their ionizing effect on materials and human tissues depends on their energies.
How uranium effect your environment?
Uranium undergoes radioactive decay and emits alpha particles which can damage tissue.
Where could one locate Alpha particles?
Alpha particles are most commonly found when alpha decay occurs. An alpha particle is emitted during alpha decay. Further information about alpha particles can be found on the Wikipedia website.
How does magnetism effect alpha radiation?
Magnetism does not directly affect alpha radiation, as alpha radiation consists of positively charged alpha particles that are not influenced by magnetic fields. However, in certain cases, magnetic fields can be used to manipulate the path of alpha particles for research or experimental purposes.
What is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles are given off?
Alpha decay is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles, specifically alpha particles, are emitted. These alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together, giving them a positive charge.
Why were few alpha particles deflected?
some of alpha particles were deflected through an angle of 90 degree
What correctly describes the charge of beta particles and alpha particles?
Beta particles have a negative charge, while alpha particles have a positive charge. Beta particles are electrons or positrons, while alpha particles are helium nuclei consisting of two protons and two neutrons.
What is the alpha particles?
The symbol of the alpha particle is the small Greek letter alpha, α
What is Alpha radiation stopped by?
Alpha particles are the strongest of the three known types of radiation (alpha, beta, & gamma). Although the strongest, the alpha particles are the least penetrating.They do not tend to penetrate any substance.A well-known example is your skin. Alpha particles do not penetrate your skin barrier. However, alpha particles energy is high and is a cause of skin cancer and genetic mutations.
Is it possible to clone alpha particles?
No. You can produce alpha particles in a number of ways, but that's not really "cloning" as the term is usually used, even if all alpha particles are indistinguishable from each other.
What is the penetration ability of alpha?
Alpha particles have a large mass and are easily absorbed and thus can only travel a few inches from their sources in air and will easily be absorbed by clothing. That being said if the source is ingested alpha particles are the most damaging form of radiation having a strong ionizing effect on their surroundings due to their high charge.
What type of nuclear radiation can be blocked by a block of lead Beta particles or alpha particles?
Alpha particles can be blocked by a block of lead due to their relatively low penetrating power, while beta particles may require a thicker shield, such as a piece of aluminum or plastic, depending on their energy. Lead is not as effective at blocking beta particles as it is for alpha particles.
