The radioactive emission that has the greatest penetrating power is?
Gamma, i.e. photon emitted from the nucleus, has the highest penetrating power.
What is stronger beta radiation or gamma radiation?
If you are asking about which radiation is the most penetrating, gamma rays are the "strongest" in that regard.Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation of the highest possible energy (frequency). It has a higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than even X-rays. It has the greatest ability to penetrate materials. A gamma ray can go through a hundred people with ease.It takes a very large mass to be effective in stopping gamma radiation. Any material can be used as shielding but, in general, the more mass, the better. It takes a lot more water than lead to stop gamma rays because water is much less dense than lead, but water is cheaper. Stone, concrete, or soil is very cost effective.Any of these radiation may be emitted from the nucleus of an atom during radioactive decay (depending on the type of decay). They all ionize material as it slows them down. Both alpha and beta radiation are particulate radiation, as they are composed of particles.Alpha particles are helium-4 nuclei, composed of two protons and two neutrons. These don't travel very far in air, and a sheet of paper will stop them.A Beta particle is a high energy electron or positron. These have a modest ability to penetrate, but a sheet of aluminum foil will stop them.
What is the least penetrating form of a reaction?
Alpha particles are the least penetrating form of radiation. However, that does not mean they are the least dangerous. Even though they can be stopped with only an inch or so of air, or even by our skin, if they are ingested and come into contact with sensitive body tissues, they can be dangerous, because they have the highest charge and the highest mass.
Why does a beta particle have a negative charge?
A beta particle has an electric charge of -1 because beta particles are both lightweight and fast moving, they have a greater penetrating power than alpha particles.
How do particles in solutions can be removed by filtration?
paticles of water can be seperated by penetrating heat into the cells
What is the connection between the ionising power of radiation and its penetrating power?
Low ionising power results from great penetrating power.
What type of penetrating power does beta particles have?
Beta particles have a very low penetrating power; an aluminium foil of 3-4 mm is a sufficient shielding.
What type of particles has the most penetrating power?
the neutrino
The radioactive emission with the weakest penetrating power is the?
alpha ray.
Which type of radiation has the has the greatest penetrating power?
Gamma Ray
What are the radioactive emissions that have the greatest penetrating power?
Gamma rays
The radioactive emission that has the greatest penetrating power is?
Gamma, i.e. photon emitted from the nucleus, has the highest penetrating power.
What is the correct decreasing penetrating power of alphabetagamma radiationbs?
Alpha being so massive penetrates with less power. Beta lighter yet massive has less penetrating power. But gamma being just a radiation/non-massive photon penetrates with highest power
Which electromagnetic wave has the highest penetrating power?
ultra voilet rays are characterized with high penetrating power ============================= The EM radiation with the highest penetrating power would be the flavor with the highest frequency/shortest wavelength. Those are the waves we call "gamma rays". A moment's thought will remind you that X-rays are more penetrating than ultraviolet rays are ... otherwise we'd be getting dental ultraviolets instead of dental X-rays.
What is a particle of alpha?
Alpha particles are positively charged. They have low penetrating power but high ionizing power.
Which is most penetrating from neutrons protons electrons alpha particles and beta particles?
The most penetrating power is for beta particles compared to those given here.
What is the penetrating power of a neutron?
