What type of radiation is composed of electrons?
Beta radiation
Is an electron beam a beam of light?
noLight is an electromagnetic radiation that is composed of photons.No.
Radiation that is similar to x-rays and is not composed of particles?
gamma radiation
Can microwave travel through vacuum?
A microwave is near the "red" side of the electromagnetic scale. All electromagnetic travels at the same rate. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation which travels through a vacuum (space). Thereofore, being a part of electormagnetic radiation, microwaves will travel through a vacuum.
Is sunlight just like radiation?
Yes sunlight is composed of ultraviolet rays which are electromagnetic radiation
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 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.
Is barbecue sauce a matter?
The world is composed from matter and radiation. That's why barbecue sauce is a matter.
What is a gas composed of molecules that absorb and radiate infrared radiation from the sun?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Alpha or beta types of radiation is composed of particles with a charge and mass identical to that of an electron?
beta
Does gamma radiation have no mass?
No Gamma Rays do not have mass. All electromagnetic radiation has no mass.
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
