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.
Does beta have a helium nucleus?
Beta radiation does not have a helium nucleus.Alpha radiation, however, does have a helium nucleus.
Why does a kidney scanner use gamma radiation rather than beta or alpha radiation?
since gamma radiation can penetrate more they are used in kidney scanners
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
What type of radiation is composed of electrons?
Beta radiation
What radiation can be stopped by a piece of metal foil?
The radiation of an electron is Radiolectonoil. -Professor Lyle
Does beta radiation results in the emission of electrons?
In beta radiation, an emission of electrons can occur due to beta decay. A neutron can disintegrate into protons and electrons.
What type of radiation is uncharged?
No, beta radiation is not uncharged. Beta radiation is the result of beta decay, and there are two kinds of beta decay. In one type, beta minus decay, an electron is ejected from an atomic nucleus. The electron is negatively charged. In the other type, beta plus decay, an positron, which is an anti-electron (antimatter), is ejected from the nucleus. The positron is positively charged. Beta radiation is either negatively charged electrons or positively charged positrons (anti-electrons). Use the link below to the related question here at WikiAnswers. It is "What is beta decay?" and it is already answered.
