That depends on the energy of the beta particles and the medium they are passing through.

In air beta can travel several inches to several feet.

Beta cannot pass through a single layer of aluminum foil.

How far can beta particle travel through air?

Beta particles can travel up to a few meters in air before they lose energy and are absorbed. The distance they can travel depends on the energy of the particle, with higher energy beta particles able to travel further.


How far does beta travel in air?

Beta particles can travel a few feet in air, but they can be stopped by a thin sheet of aluminum or plastic. The distance beta particles travel depends on their energy, with higher energy particles traveling farther.


How far does beta radiation travel through the air?

Beta radiation can travel several feet in the air, but its range is limited. The distance it travels depends on the energy of the beta particles and the density of the material it's traveling through. Beta radiation can be stopped by materials such as aluminum or even a few millimeters of plastic.


How far does beta particle move in the air?

Beta particles can travel several feet in the air, but their range is dependent on factors such as their energy level and the density of the air. Typically, beta particles with higher energies can travel further distances before losing their energy and stopping.


Can neutrons travel as far through matter as alpha and beta particles can?

Alpha particles are actually a nucleus of a helium atom, consisting of a 2 protons and 2 neutrons, and therefore significantly larger than one single neutron. Beta particles on the other hand is electrons, much smaller than the neutron. The particle's size determine it's energy, and probability of avoiding collision.Cut short,Beta particles go long the longest of the three.Neutron shorter.Alpha particles can't penetrate a piece of paper. Travel shortest.

How far can beta plus particle travel?

Beta plus particles have a limited range in a given medium, typically traveling a few millimeters to several centimeters depending on their energy. Higher energy beta plus particles can penetrate further. In dense materials like lead, their range may be less than in air.

How far do beta particles travel?

About 2,000 miles. The speed of individual beta particles depends on how much energy they have, and varies over a wide range. It is their excess energy, in the form of speed, that causes harm to living cells. When transferred, this energy can break chemical bonds and form ions.
