What is a particle that cannot penetrate paper?
An "alpha" particle.
Define the three types of Radiation alpha particles beta particles gamma particles and list the name of the scientist who discovered it?
Ernest Rutherford discovered radiation. Alpha is most harmful is ingested, it cannot penetrate the sign, nor paper or metal or lead, beta is able to penetrate paper and metal, and gamma, the most harmful of the three is able to penetrate paper, metal, lead, and skin. beta can penetrate the skin after a long period of time.
Why was becquerel interested in phosphorescence?
because he works as a photographer... <3
What can beta radiation absorb?
It doesn't absorb clever. It penetrates, and it can penetrate paper, smoke, a layer of skin and thin aluminium.
How can you write with a pencil?
A sharp point on a pencil will be eroded by a rough surface (paper) and leave a coating of graphite. This does not immediately penetrate the paper and can be erased. After some time, the paper will absorb some graphite molecules into its structure, and erasures will not be complete.

Is alpha radiation absorbed by paper?
Alpha radiation (a Helium atom with two neutrons) is very bulky, and therefore cannot penetrate physical objects easily. A sheet of paper will not absorb, but deflect the alpha particle.
What does alpha radiation mean?
Alpha radiation is partiles of 42He2+ (2 protons, 2 neutrons, but no electrons). They are highly ionizing but have low penetration (can cause severe damange to living organisms but can be stopped using a sheet of paper)
What are beta and alpha rays?
Alpha: Highly ionising particles that can not penetrate the skin, smoke or most substances. It's only dangerous when inhaled or ingested. Beta: Is slightly less ionising but can penetrate air, layers of skin and paper. It's only slightly more dangerous than Alpha.
Does magnetism go through paper?
Yes. Magnetic lines of force penetrate paper with little to no difficulty.
What can penetrate paper but not a thick sheet of aluminum?
My hand can penetrate paper because of the force of yourfist it will cause a devastating reaction that will happen insplit second because of your bone structure..----------------------------------------------------------You think probable to beta radiations.
Can UV rays go through wax paper?
yes, but it drastically reduces them
What will happen to the paper clip when a sheet is placed between the bar magnet and the paper clip?
Magnetic filed of the bar magnet will penetrate a paper. Hence the clip will be attracted and stick to the magnet pressing the paper too to the magnet.

What is the difference between filtration and ultrafiltration?
Filtration is done by a filter paper, while ultrafiltration is done by a semipermeable membrane. Solute particles that are 1-200nm in diameter can pass through filter paper, but cannot penetrate the semipermeable membrane. Only particles with a diameter less than 1nm can pass through the semipermeable membrane.
Can you separate salt and water with paper?
You cannot do it with paper.
