The radioactive emission with the weakest penetrating power is the?
alpha ray.
The radioactive emission that has the greatest penetrating power is?
Gamma, i.e. photon emitted from the nucleus, has the highest penetrating power.
How determine penetrating power of X-ray?
Wavelength. The shorter the wave (= the higher the frequency) the greater the penetration.
Which type of radiation has the has the greatest penetrating power?
Gamma Ray
The penetrating power of an x-ray beam is detremined by its energy as expressed in its?
wavelength
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 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
Why are some types of radiation ineffective as physical agents of microbial growth?
low penetrating power, for example, Uv light. Uv light has longer wavelenth than gamma ray and x-ray, therefor has lower penetrating power. It can only sterilize surfaces and heat sensitive items.
Which electromagnetic wave has the highest penetrating power?
ultra voilet rays are characterized with high penetrating power ============================= The EM radiation with the highest penetrating power would be the flavor with the highest frequency/shortest wavelength. Those are the waves we call "gamma rays". A moment's thought will remind you that X-rays are more penetrating than ultraviolet rays are ... otherwise we'd be getting dental ultraviolets instead of dental X-rays.
Can you give a sentence with a word radioactive?
The X-Ray machine is radioactive
What is a Becquerel ray?
A Becquerel ray is an archaic term for any form of radioactive ray.
A penetrating ray of energy emitted by an unstable nucleus?
Gamma rays.
