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
What type of radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter?
The Least penetrating form of radiation is Alpha as it only travels 10cm in air and is stopped by paper. Alpha is also the most ionising, Beta is less ionising still and Gamma is the least ionising as photons carry no charge so they have less effect.
What has the least penetrating power gamma ray alpha particle or beta particle?
The gamma ray because a photon does not have electric charge and is thus does not experience force in a EM field. All the others are charged particles
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
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.
Which list places the three types of radiation in order from least penetrating to most penetrating?
Highest penetration: Gamma (y) Second highest: Beta (B)Weakest penetration: Alpha (a)Explanation: The relative penetrating abilities of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. The heavy, highly charged alpha particles are stopped by a piece of paper (or the skin). The lighter, less highly charged beta particles penetrate paper, but are stopped by a 0.5-cm sheet of lead. Because gamma rays have no charge and no mass, they are the most penetrating, but can be stopped by several centimeters of lead.
Is alpha or gamma is more absorbed by matter?
Alpha particles have much less penetrating power than gamma rays.
Which alpha beta or gamma is the particle with the greatest penetrating depth?
Gamma, as it has the most energy by far.
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
The radioactive emission that has the greatest penetrating power is?
Gamma, i.e. photon emitted from the nucleus, has the highest penetrating power.
What radiation type has the greatest ability to penetrate human tissue?
Gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is the least penetrating, beta radiation penetrates and lasts longer than alpha but also "dies out" relatively quickly, but Gamma radiation will not only penetrate deep, but it will also stay long.
The most common types of radioactive decay least penetrating human tissue to most penetrating?
alpha, beta, gamma
What type of radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter?
The Least penetrating form of radiation is Alpha as it only travels 10cm in air and is stopped by paper. Alpha is also the most ionising, Beta is less ionising still and Gamma is the least ionising as photons carry no charge so they have less effect.
Three products of radioactive decay from most penetrating to least?
Gamma Beta Alpha
What has the least penetrating power gamma ray alpha particle or beta particle?
The gamma ray because a photon does not have electric charge and is thus does not experience force in a EM field. All the others are charged particles
What is the forms of radiation is the most penetrating?
Of all the three types of radiation (alpha, beta and gamma), Gamma rays are the most penetrating, being able to travel through a few meters of lead.
