What else can I help you with?
What kind of radiation is emitted from protactinium?
Protactinium-231 emit alpha particles, gamma radiations, X-rays.
What is a stream of particles containing two neutrons and two protons?
A stream of particles containing two neutrons and two protons is an alpha particle. Alpha particles are emitted during alpha decay in radioactive processes. They have a positive charge and are relatively heavy compared to other types of particles.
How many radiations are emitted by uranium?
Uranium-238 emits alpha radiation; its half-life is 4,468×109 year.
What form of heat transfer is caused by the greenhouse effect?
There are three types of heat transfers: conduction, convection and radiation. The heat transfer caused by the greenhouse effect is radiation.
What is the source of radiation for both the Earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse?
The primary source of radiation for both Earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse effect is the sun. Solar radiation warms the Earth's surface, which then emits infrared radiation. Some of this infrared radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, trapping heat and warming the planet.
What effect of nuclear radiation or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
alpha or beta radiation
Can high velocity neutrons path be affected by radiation or magnetism?
Neutron's path is not affected by radiation or magnetism.
Which effect of nuclear radiation or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
Mostly inhalation/ingestion of alpha emitter dust particles. These offer little protection from other types of radiation sources.
Alpha is it ionizing?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
What is the radiation type for alpha?
Alpha (and beta) radiation is "particle radiation" Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.
Which effect of nuclear radation can you protect yourself from if you wear your protective clothing and mask?
alpha and beta radiation
Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
What type of radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter?
Alpha radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter. It consists of particles that are relatively large and heavy, which makes them easier to block. They can be stopped by a piece of paper or human skin.
Is alpha radiation a ionization radiation?
Yes, alpha radiation is a form of ionizing radiation. It consists of alpha particles, which are helium nuclei composed of two protons and two neutrons. These particles have high energy and can ionize atoms by knocking off electrons from them as they pass through matter.
What type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is emitted by thorium-230?
alpha particles.
Is there a material that reacts with either alpha or beta particles?
Alpha anf beta particles are two kinds of ionizing radiation. Their ionizing effect on materials and human tissues depends on their energies.
What type of radiation is the least ionizing?
Alpha radiation.
