Beta radiation is the name of the particle released in a type of nuclear decay called (naturally) beta decay. The radiation, the particle, is either a high energy electron or a high energy anti-electron or positron. These little guys come out of the decay event like a bullet from a gun, but don't have a lot of penetrating power. They can be stopped by a sheet of aluminum foil.
Hit the links below for further information, particularly the one on what beta decay is. As an aside, there is an anti-neutrino or neutrino (respectively) released in the decay events also, but these little dudes don't interact strongly with other particles and just pass right through.
Yes. I found this: "Beta particles are just electrons from the nucleus, the term "beta particle" being an historical term used in the early description of radioactivity. The high energy electrons have greater range of penetration than alpha particles, but still much less than gamma rays. The radiation hazard from betas is greatest if they are ingested.

beta rays are radio active rays emitted by a radioactive substance
negative beta, electrons. positive beta, positrons.
Gamma rays are photons, particles of light. Whereas, Beta particles are high speed electrons. Gamma rays have much more energy and are therefore more penetrating than Beta particles.
Beta waves are normal in sleep, particularly for infants and young children.
Alpha and beta rays are bent in different directions because alpha is positively charged, beta is negative.
Cathode (electron) rays have less ionizing potential than gamma, beta, and alpha rays (in increasing ionization potential).
Gamma rays are more penetrating than alpha and beta particles.
alpha and beta radiations do not travel at the speed of light,but gamma rays and the rest of em spectrum rays do.
alpha , beta, gamma
These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Alpha rays are helium-4 nuclei, beta rays can be electrons or positrons, gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves.These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

yes beta rays are present in nucleus. these rays are due to negative pi meson
no
Beta particles are electrons, generally emitted by the cathode of a glow discharge system. When beta particles was discovered the atomic model was not known and the new "rays" were called with progressive names alfa rays, beta rays, gamma rays and so on.
Alpha and beta rays are bent in different directions because alpha is positively charged, beta is negative.
I am rayray girlfriend
umm no.
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma rays are all types of radiating created and used in the splitting of an atom.
The gamma rays are. The alpha and beta "rays" are not.
You think probable to beta rays, gamma rays, alpha rays.
because the control of neucles on different electrons is different and we know that beta rays are infact electrons then we can say that the speed of beta rays emitted by the same element is different
