What else can I help you with?
Is gamma radiation effected by a magnetic field?
Nothing. The gamma ray is not deflected by a magnetic field, which demonstrates that unlike the alpha and beta rays, the gamma is not a stream of charged particles, but is electromagnetic radiation.
What is the radiation type for alpha?
Alpha (and beta) radiation is "particle radiation" Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.
Why are beta alpha particles deflected when pass the magnetic field?
Beta particles are deflected in a magnetic field due to their electric charge. Beta particles are either negative (beta-) or positive (beta+) charged, so they experience a force when passing through a magnetic field, causing them to be deflected from their original path.
What two types of radiation would be deflected by an electric field?
Ionizing radiation is generally divided into electromagnetic radiation and particulate radiation. Charged particles are affected, and this will include protons, beta particles and alpha particles. Neutrons, another particulate form of ionizing radiation, won't be affected. Electromagnetic ionizing radiation, cosmic rays and gamma rays, are not effected.
Can a magnet deflect beta radiation?
No, a magnet cannot deflect beta radiation. Beta radiation consists of fast-moving electrons or positrons, which are not affected by magnetic fields in the same way as charged particles like alpha radiation.
Does an alpha particle and beta particle has the same speed in a magnetic field?
Alpha particles with the same energy as beta particles have much less speed, magnetic field or no.
Why beta and alpha particles deflected when they pass the magnetic field?
Alpha and beta particles are deflected by a magnetic field because they have charge and, as such, are affected by the electromagnetic interaction or force.
What Greek letter is used to symbolize the magnetic field?
The Greek letter "B" (beta) is commonly used to symbolize the magnetic field in physics.
Why beta particle is not deflected by strong magnatic field?
Beta particles are electrons (β-) or positrons (β+), which have a very small mass and charge. Due to their small mass, they are not significantly affected by a strong magnetic field as their momentum is not large enough to cause a substantial deflection. The force experienced by a charged particle in a magnetic field is proportional to its charge, velocity, and the strength of the magnetic field, and for beta particles, this force is typically not enough to cause a noticeable deflection.
What type of radiation is not affected by magnetic fields?
Charged particles will be deflected by an electric field. The movement of any charged particle through an electric field will cause that charged particle to be attracted by one pole of the field and repelled by the other. That leaves uncharged particulate radiation, like a neutron, and electromagnetic radiation that will not be deflected by an electric field. The electromagnetic radiation will include X-rays and gamma rays.
What is beta tron?
Beta tron is a device for speeding up electrons to extremely high energies with the help of expanding magnetic field. The beta tron differs from cyclotron in the two fundamental respects - 1) in beta tron the electron are accelerated by expanding magnetic field 2)the circular orbit has a constant radius.
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.
