How does the penetrating ability of gamma rays compare with that of alpha particles and beta particles?
Gamma rays are more penetrating than alpha and beta particles.
What radioactive emission has the greatest penetrating power?
hi my names princess and i think that the answer is GAMMA RAYS if I'm right can you tell me
Gamma rays is more energetic when emits alpha or beta?
false
What type of radiation has the shortest wave length?
If this question if referring to electromagnetic radiation (light) then the sun probably emits very small amounts of gamma rays, which have the shortest wavelengths of all electromagnetic radiation as well as larger amounts of x-Rays (the next wavelength larger). However, there are a variety of particles with larger masses and higher energies than that of photons. These particles are known as cosmic rays, which include electrons, muons, protons, neutrons, and even whole helium nuclei (called alpha particles). These higher mass particles can travel at near-light-speed velocities and as a result have very short wavelengths.
What are electromagnetic waves with high energy called?
Gamma rays. Only extremely hot objects or particles moving at very high velocities can create high-energy radiation like X-rays and gamma-rays.
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
How does the penetrating ability of gamma rays compare with that of alpha particles and beta particles?
Gamma rays are more penetrating than alpha and beta particles.
Differentiate gamma rays from alpha particles?
Gamma rays are very high energy Photons. Whereas, alpha particles are Helium nuclei.
What radioactive emissions are not particles?
Gamma rays.
How does the composition of gamma rays compare to the composition of alpha and beta partilce?
Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation.Alpha particles are helium nuclei.Beta particles are electrons.
Is gamma not considered a type of radiation ray?
Actually, gamma is the ONLY type of radiation ray. Since the three types of radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays, and the other two are particles, technically, gamma rays are the only radiation rays. If that is not what you are looking for, then I recommend rephrasing your question.

What kind of radiation is emitted from protactinium?
Protactinium-231 emit alpha particles, gamma radiations, X-rays.
Does gamma radiation have no mass?
No Gamma Rays do not have mass. All electromagnetic radiation has no mass.
How would you list alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays in order of increasing energy?
Alpha, beta, gamma.
What were the rays emanating from uranium?
* Alpha rays (particles) * Beta rays * Gamma rays * Spontaneous fission neutrons
Radiation that is similar to x-rays and is not composed of particles?
gamma radiation
