What is a stream of particles containing two neutrons and two protons?
The particle described is an alpha particle, and we might call a stream of them alpha radiation or an alpha ray.
What type of radiation is in the atmosphere due to greenhouse gases?
There is no radiation (Alpha particles, Beta particles, Gamma rays) related to Greenhouse Gases. There is some conversion of lsolar energy to thermal radiation (heat)
How many radiations are emitted by uranium?
Uranium-238 emits alpha radiation; its half-life is 4,468×109 year.
How does radiation effect plate tectonics?
it jst does lol
How nukes effect the environment?
massive explosion and radiation
What effect of nuclear radiation or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
alpha or beta radiation
Is alpha radiation a ionization radiation?
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Can high velocity neutrons path be affected by radiation or magnetism?
Neutron's path is not affected by radiation or magnetism.
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 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.
What type of radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter?
The Least penetrating form of radiation is Alpha as it only travels 10cm in air and is stopped by paper. Alpha is also the most ionising, Beta is less ionising still and Gamma is the least ionising as photons carry no charge so they have less effect.
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.
How is alpha radiation detected?
A zinc sulfide scintillator probe is used to detect alpha radiation. The scintillator probe is just sensitive to alpha radiation.
What are the names of 2 types of ionising radiation?
Alpha and Beta Radiation are types of ionizing radiation. They are both charged particles though Alpha is heavier than the particle Beta.
What does alpha alpha radiation do?
It can be used for smoke detectors
