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.
How is beta used in determining paper thickness?
it penetrates through the paper into a detector that measures how much got through which determines how thick it is. 23
Why are alpha and beta radiation not included in electromagnetic spectrum?
alpha and beta radiations do not travel at the speed of light,but gamma rays and the rest of em spectrum rays do.
How does foam stop radiation?
Foam don't stop penetrating radiations (neutrons, beta, gamma lasers etc).
What Will Absorb Beta Radiation?
Paper or foil absorbs beta ratation. The thicker it is the less radiation passes through. A detector senses how much radiation passes through and changes the production setting.
What radiation can be stopped by beta?
A few cms. of air or gas and a few mm of a liquid as water and a metal foil may stop the beta radiations.
What element is a radioactive element?
The radioactive element is composed of unstable nuclei that try to reach stability through emitting nuclear radiations as alpha, beta, and gamma nuclear radiations.
Which radiations are used to prevent sprouting of onions or potatoes?
beta
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.
What can beta go through?
Beta is weak so it can only penetrate through thin material ,sayyy paper but it is then blocked by thick plastic
What are radiation rays?
Ionizing radiations are alpha, beta, gamma rays, etc.
What are the uses for promethium?
Applications of promethium: - beta radiation source in instruments used to measure thickness of coatings by retrodiffusion of beta radiations - luminous paints - atomic batteries
How is beta used in determining paper thickness?
it penetrates through the paper into a detector that measures how much got through which determines how thick it is. 23

What is bad thing about?
the gamma and beta radiations which can cause cell mutation and radiation poisoning
What does the creation of daughter isotopes release?
Energy and radiations as alpha, beta, gamma, etc.
Does the emission of alpha beta and gamma radiations take place from a nucleus at the same time?
No.
