Alpha and beta rays are bent in different directions because alpha is positively charged, beta is negative.

∙ 8y ago
Alpha particles are heavier and carry a positive charge, so they are more easily deflected by electromagnetic fields in a different direction than beta particles, which are lighter and negatively charged. This can occur if they pass through a medium that causes them to ionize and interact differently due to their mass and charge differences.

When was Alpha Beta created?
Alpha Beta grocery stores was founded in 1917 in Pomona, California by Albert and Hugh Gerrard.
Why is gamma radiation different from alpha and beta radiation?
Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, whereas alpha and beta radiation are composed of particles. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy, whereas alpha and beta particles are larger and less penetrating. Gamma radiation does not carry an electric charge, while alpha and beta particles do.
What are the responses of alpha beta and gamma radiation in an electric field?
Alpha particles are positively charged, so they will be deflected towards the negatively charged plate in an electric field. Beta particles are negatively charged and will be deflected towards the positively charged plate. Gamma radiation is uncharged and will not be affected by the electric field.
In alpha and beta decay the parent elements is always a different element from the daughter element?
true
What are the masses of alpha beta gamma?
The masses of alpha, beta, and gamma particles can vary, but generally speaking: Alpha particles have a mass approximately four times that of a proton. Beta particles (both beta-minus and beta-plus) have a much smaller mass compared to alpha particles, with beta-minus being lighter than beta-plus. Gamma rays are massless particles.
What happens to beta radiation in a magnetic field?
Alpha waves are bent Gamma waves are not affected Beta waves are not bent
Is a LEGO beta tester and a LEGO alpha tester different?
Yes, they are different.
When did Alpha Beta end?
Alpha Beta ended in 1995.
What the different between alpha Amyrin and beta Amyrin?
Beta amyrine and alpha amyrine both are pentacyclic triterpenoids with betahydroxy group at position number 3 but beta amyrine is derived from oleanane skeleton and alpha amyrine is derived from ursane skeleton
When was Alpha Beta created?
Alpha Beta grocery stores was founded in 1917 in Pomona, California by Albert and Hugh Gerrard.
Why shape formed when beta glucose molecules join in a single chain is different from that formed when alpha glucose molecules join in a single chain?
Because beta is mo beta than alpha, you feel me?

What are two different forms of radioactive decay?
Alpha and beta decays.
What comes after alpha?
After alpha comes beta in the Greek alphabet.
Why is gamma radiation different from alpha and beta radiation?

What are the responses of alpha beta and gamma radiation in an electric field?
Alpha particles are positively charged, so they will be deflected towards the negatively charged plate in an electric field. Beta particles are negatively charged and will be deflected towards the positively charged plate. Gamma radiation is uncharged and will not be affected by the electric field.
When was Alpha Beta Gamma created?
Alpha Beta Gamma was created in 1970.
