Why is beta and alpha penetration power different?

Beta and alpha are two different things. Beta has negative charges, Alpha has positive. Now the thing is that their ionizing powers also differ. Alpha has extremely HIGH ionizing power whereas Beta has comparatively less (gamma has no ionizing power). Basically alpha ionizes the particles around it very fast and there fore it cannot proceed further into the material, whereas Beta has less ionizing power and can therefore travel farther into the material as the particles around it don't get ionized as fast as alpha. (this is the same reason why gamma has such high penetration power, because it doesn't ionize substances at all). Basically alpha has least penetration power as the ionizing power is most, Beta has medium ionizing and penetration power (compared to alpha and gamma) Gamma has most penetration power as it's ionizing power is least. Hope that answers the question.


What is a particle of alpha?

Alpha particles are positively charged. They have low penetrating power but high ionizing power.


What is ionizing power of alpha particle?

it keeps no records of wrong


Why l alpha l beta characteristic x rays are not graphed in x ray production experiment?

they have high ionizing power


Why alpha particles tend to produce more ions than beta particles or gamma rays when they pass through matter?

Alpha particles have a high ionizing power beacaue they have a great linear transfer of energy.


Is cathode rays have maximum ionising power than alpha beta gamma rays?

Cathode (electron) rays have less ionizing potential than gamma, beta, and alpha rays (in increasing ionization potential).


Why the ionizing and penetrating power of alpha beta and gama rays varies?

Because there are considerable difference between the three, with respect to electric charge, mass, and energy.


What is the ionising power of alpha?

alpha particle is the heaviest(compared to gama and beta particle).....it has got haish positive charge and moves with a speed lower compared to beta and gama particle and therefore it ionizies the particles around it as it moves in its path


How powerful is alpha percival?

Ignore the person that said 800gs A bakugan's max G-Power is 720gs and mine is 620gs SO the strongest would be 720gs


What is the ionizing power of alpha beta gamma?

Of alpha, beta and gamma radiation, gamma radiation has the greater ability to penetrate either shielding or living tissue. The penetration issue aside, a contact source that is an alpha emitter can do more tissue damage than beta or gamma radiation. Alpha and beta radiation are particulate radiation. They involve a particle. Gamma radiation is electromagnetic radiation of high energy. Use the links below to learn more about each type of radiation and get a handle on what's up.


What is a good stopper of ionizing radiation?

If by ionising radiation you mean alpha radiation (the most ionising out of alpha, beta and gamma radiation) then about a millimetre of paper would stop it. alpha radiation ionises the molecules of anything it reaches, but can pass through very few things due to its immense ionising power. This includes human tissue, but in all honesty, a large dose of alpha radiation wouldn't do human tissue alot of good. In short, almost any material can stop ionising radiation.
