Which form of radiation is the same as an electron?
Beta minus radiation is a stream of electrons.
What is the difference between nuclear radiation and heat radiation?
Heat radiation is infrared radiation, which is a relatively low frequency radiation, slightly lower than that of visible light. Nuclear radiation includes a variety of types, including X rays and gamma rays, which are very high frequency radiation, and which are consequently much more dangerous, and can cause radiation sickness. There are also other types of nuclear radiation such as alpha rays, beta rays, and neutrons, all of which are in the form of subatomic particles rather than electromagnetic radiation.
What radiation can be stopped by a piece of metal foil?
The radiation of an electron is Radiolectonoil. -Professor Lyle
What would you need to protect yourself from beta radiation?
Normal clothing will protect you from typical energy beta radiation.
What types of radiation has the highest frequency?
In the electromagnetic spectrum Gamma radiation has the highest frequency.
What are the forms of radiation?
Alpha, Beta, Neutron, X-ray, Gamma, Neutron radiation, Electromagnetic radiation, Visible light, Infrared, Microwave, Radio waves, Very low frequency (VLF), Extremely low frequency (ELF), Thermal radiation (heat) and Black body radiation.
Emission of gamma rays does not change the atomic number of a nucleus?
no, gamma rays are very high frequency electromagnetic radiation and are not protons or electrons as alpha and beta radiation are respectively.
Radiation consisting of a single electron?
beta radiation!
Which form of radiation is the same as an electron?
Beta minus radiation is a stream of electrons.
Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Beta radiation is made from electrons (or positrons for inverse beta radiation). Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus, and gamma radiation is a high energy electromagnetic ray.
Does beta radiation have a helium nuleus?
A stream of helium nuclei is alpha radiation. Beta radiation is a stream of electrons.
Is frequency related to radiation?
yes frequency = 1/radiation
Does beta have a helium nucleus?
Beta radiation does not have a helium nucleus.Alpha radiation, however, does have a helium nucleus.
What are the types of nuclear radiations?
Alpha, beta, and gamma are the main ones. Alpha is the ejection of alpha particles which are 2 protons plus 2 neutrons, which is a helium nucleus. Beta particles are electrons. Gamma radiation is EM radiation of very high frequency, beyond x-rays.
What is the difference between nuclear radiation and heat radiation?
Heat radiation is infrared radiation, which is a relatively low frequency radiation, slightly lower than that of visible light. Nuclear radiation includes a variety of types, including X rays and gamma rays, which are very high frequency radiation, and which are consequently much more dangerous, and can cause radiation sickness. There are also other types of nuclear radiation such as alpha rays, beta rays, and neutrons, all of which are in the form of subatomic particles rather than electromagnetic radiation.
Why is beta radiation used to measure beta radiation?
Because its attenuation is proportional to thickness being penetrated
Is beta radiation a type of nuclear radiation?
Yes
