Gamma rays penetrate matter more effectively than beta rays due to their higher energy and lack of charge. Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation, which allows them to pass through materials with minimal interaction, while beta rays, being charged particles (electrons or positrons), are more likely to collide with atoms in the material, losing energy and being absorbed. This difference in interaction mechanisms results in gamma rays having a greater ability to traverse dense materials compared to beta rays.

What 3 things are produced during nuclear decay?

The energy can be viewed as thermal, kinetic, electrical, or electromagnetic. But at the atomic and subatomic level, these are often viewed as much the same. What one person might call a fast neutron, another might call a hot neutron. The measurement could be in degrees Celsius, or in kilometers per second. But it is usually in electron volts. This applies not only to the particles or waves emitted, but to the daughter atoms.


How did Sir Frances Drake become an explorer?

Because vasco da gamas father,Estavo got the opportunity to do the mission of finding a route from Europe to India by sea But unfortunately Estavo died before he could finish the mission,Next,the opportunity came to da gama's brother ,Paulo but he turned it down So then the opportunity of this historic voyage came to non-other than Vasco Da Gama.


Are gamma rays and radio waves the most dangerous waves?

Gama rays and radio waves together with the light for example are all electromagnetic waves. The properties of the waves depends on the frequency. If they have higher frequency, the have also higher energy which could be absorbed by body. This list shows electromagnetic spectrum. The waves are ordered from the lowest frequency to highest, which is the most dangerous. - radio - microwave - infrared - visible - ultraviolet - x-ray - gama rays However, the distance from the source of the radiation is important. That's why are scientists arguing about the harmfulness of mobile phones. On the other hand, well protected and shielded nuclear power plant is absolutely harmless.

The type of nuclear radiation that can penetrate farthest through matter?

Gamma radiation can penetrate the farthest through matter due to its high energy and lack of charge. It can travel through thick materials and requires heavy shielding like lead or concrete to effectively block it.

Can alpha penetrate aluminum but not concrete?

Alpha particles do not penetrate much. They are stopped by a few inches of air. They do not penetrate a piece of paper well, and are stopped by aluminum and concrete. Beta particles can penetrate better, but are stopped by rather thin pieces of aluminum. High energy beta particles are shielded with plastics, wood, or water. Gamma rays are best absorbed by atoms with heavy nuclei. Neutrons are usually either absorbed by atoms or moderated to the point of having little energy. Unlike the other emissions, neutrons have a half life, which is a little less than fifteen minutes.
