What else can I help you with?
What type of radiation is composed of electrons?
Beta radiation
Is sunlight just like radiation?
Yes sunlight is composed of ultraviolet rays which are electromagnetic radiation
Radiation that is similar to x-rays and is not composed of particles?
Gamma radiation is similar to x-rays in terms of their ability to penetrate materials and cause ionization, but unlike x-rays, gamma radiation is not composed of particles. Instead, gamma radiation consists of electromagnetic waves with very high energy.
What is electromagnet composed of?
Electromagnetic radiation is composed of electrons and photons. Since electromagnetic radiation can display wave as well as particle properties, the manner in which the radiation is presenting itself, and the way it is measured, will define which component or what ratio the components are present.
What type of radiation is terrestrial radiation?
Terrestrial radiation is primarily composed of gamma rays, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation. This type of radiation originates from naturally occurring radioactive elements present in the Earth's crust, such as uranium and thorium.
What is gamma radiation composed of?
It is electromagnetic radiation just like radio, microwaves, visible light etc.. except it has the highest frequency and energy and shortest wavelength of all electromagnetic radiation.
What is a gas composed of molecules that absorb and radiate infrared radiation from the sun?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Is barbecue sauce a matter?
The world is composed from matter and radiation. That's why barbecue sauce is a matter.
What are is gamma radiation made up of?
Gamma radiation is composed of electromagnetic waves with very high energy and short wavelengths. It does not have mass or charge. Gamma radiation is emitted during radioactive decay or nuclear reactions.
Is alpha radiation a ionization radiation?
Yes, alpha radiation is a form of ionizing radiation. It consists of alpha particles, which are helium nuclei composed of two protons and two neutrons. These particles have high energy and can ionize atoms by knocking off electrons from them as they pass through matter.
Why is gamma radiation different from alpha and beta radiation?
Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, whereas alpha and beta radiation are composed of particles. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy, whereas alpha and beta particles are larger and less penetrating. Gamma radiation does not carry an electric charge, while alpha and beta particles do.
What is radioactivly?
It is the decaying or breaking down of an atom (mostly unstable isotopes of heavy elements), which causes it to give off radiation, (alpha, beta, gamma). Alpha, is the weakest radiation and is composed of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, and are stopped by a sheet of paper. Beta, is composed of electrons, and it travels over half the speed of light and stopped by a thin sheet of aluminum. Gamma radiation, the strongest, travels at the speed of light (c) and is composed of electromagnetic waves. it can be stopped by thick lead
