How does the penetrating ability of gamma rays compare with that of alpha particles and beta particles?
Gamma rays are more penetrating than alpha and beta particles.
What are Neutron rays?
Neutron rays are very high-energy rays. They are composed of neutrons, which are particles with mass but no charge
Is electric field can deflect x rays?
no, x rays are not charged particles. electric field can apply force only on charged particles like electrons and protons.
Of the three types of radioactivity characterized by Rutherford, which is\are electrically chargedA)B-rays B)a-rays and B-rays?
A)B-rays are the only type of radioactivity that is electrically charged. Alpha (a-rays) and gamma (y-rays) rays are both uncharged, or neutral, particles. B-rays, or beta particles, are high-energy electrons that are emitted from the nucleus of an atom and are the only type of radioactivity that is electrically charged.
The behavior of cathode rays in a glass tube containing gas at low pressure led scientists to conclude that the rays were composed of?
Were composed of no charge particles .
What is a substance that gives off high- energy particles or rays?
radioisotope
What develops when an unstable atom gives off particles and gamma rays?
radioactivily
What particles give off high energy?
Radionuclide or radioisotope is a substance that give off high energy particles or rays as it disintegrates. They emit three types of radioactivity is alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.
How does the penetrating ability of gamma rays compare with that of alpha particles and beta particles?
Gamma rays are more penetrating than alpha and beta particles.
What is the name for the emission of rays and particles by a radioactive material?
The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.
What were the rays emanating from uranium?
* Alpha rays (particles) * Beta rays * Gamma rays * Spontaneous fission neutrons
What is the collective name of high-energy particles and rays given off by the nuclei of atoms?
The energy is called nuclear radiation, high energy particles and rays that are emitted by the nuclei of some atoms.
Differentiate gamma rays from alpha particles?
Gamma rays are very high energy Photons. Whereas, alpha particles are Helium nuclei.
Where do ultrahigh-energy particles come from?
The ultra high energy particles come from the sun. The sun's UV rays the high energy rays.
What are Neutron rays?
Neutron rays are very high-energy rays. They are composed of neutrons, which are particles with mass but no charge
What radioactive emissions are not particles?
Gamma rays.
What particles compose of canal rays?
protons
