Yes, beta energies are "stronger" than visible light. Beta is in the x-ray portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, placing it above visible light.

Which one is not a type of nuclear radiation.. Alpha particles Beta particle Neutron or Visible light?

All of them - alpha - beta - neutron - visible light - are examples of nuclear radiation.


Is the statement the sun only gives off visible light correct?

False. The Sun radiates electromagnetic energy in all parts of the spectrum, not just the tiny sliver that is "visible light". Additionally, the Sun gives off hard radiation in the form of alpha and beta particles, and a considerable "solar wind" of charged atomic nuclei.


Which two types of radation are not emitted by radioactive substances?

The two types of radiation that are not emitted by radioactive substances are electromagnetic radiation in the form of visible light and sound waves. Radioactive substances primarily emit alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Visible light is not a product of radioactive decay, and sound waves do not arise from nuclear processes. Thus, both visible light and sound waves are not associated with radioactivity.


How much of the electromagnetic spectrum does the sun produce?

Electromagnetic radiation is a continuous spectrum of wavelengths from thousands of kilometres to wavelengths the size of fractions of an atom. They are all the same kind of radiation - the differences are only the wavelengths. They range from the longest - radio waves, then microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultra violet light, X-rays and gamma rays. The sun emits all of these apart from gamma rays.


What are the yellow and orange pigments in a chloroplast?

The yellow and orange pigments in a chloroplast are carotenoids, such as beta-carotene and xanthophylls. These pigments help capture light energy for photosynthesis and broaden the range of light wavelengths that can be absorbed.

What is the maximum absorbance for beta-carotene?

The maximum absorbance for beta-carotene is around 450-480 nm. This range corresponds to the absorption of light in the visible spectrum by beta-carotene molecules.


Are parallel or antiparallel beta sheets stronger in protein structures?

Antiparallel beta sheets are generally stronger in protein structures compared to parallel beta sheets.


What form of electromagnetic radiation passes through skin but not bone?

Alpha radiation, it's force is too weak to even penetrate the outer layer of dead skin. Beta and Gamma radiation can pass through, Beta has trouble passing through clothes whereas Gamma is able to go straight through the body.


What is the wavelength of Beta Radiation?

The wavelength of beta radiation can vary depending on the specific isotope undergoing beta decay. Generally, beta radiation consists of high-energy electrons (beta minus decay) or positrons (beta plus decay) and typically has wavelengths in the range of a few femtometers to a few meters.


Does electromagnetic spectrum only include visible light?

No, the electromagnetic spectrum includes a wide range of electromagnetic waves, not just visible light. It also includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each type of wave has specific properties and uses.

Why are alpha and beta radiation not included in electromagnetic spectrum?

Alpha and beta radiation are not included in the electromagnetic spectrum because they are composed of particles (alpha particles are helium nuclei, beta particles are electrons or positrons) and not electromagnetic waves like those included in the spectrum (e.g., radio waves, microwaves, visible light). Alpha and beta radiation are forms of nuclear radiation emitted from the decaying nucleus of an atom.

Which is stronger alpha or beta?

Beta is generally stronger than alpha. Beta radiation consists of higher energy particles that can penetrate further into materials and are more damaging to living tissues compared to alpha radiation. However, the extent of damage caused also depends on factors such as the type of material being penetrated and the duration of exposure.
