There's no such thing. Or, rather, it depends on the circumstances. It has to be less than the speed of light in a vacuum, but other than that restriction, it can be almost any value (including faster than the speed of light in the medium it's traveling in, in which case it emits Cerenkov radiation).

Which type of nuclear radiation travels the fastest?

All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed. We usually call it "the speed of light" but it's the same for all other forms of electromagnetic waves.


What is realistic fiction way to travel at the speed of light?

Which radiation particle can travel 6 to 10 feet and penetrate skin?

Beta particles are radiation particles that can travel up to 6 to 10 feet and penetrate the skin. These particles are high-speed electrons or positrons emitted from the nucleus of a radioactive atom.


Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?

The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.


Is beta ray bill thor?

No, Beta Ray Bill is a separate character in the Marvel universe. He is a Korbinite alien who is worthy to wield Thor's hammer and has even had his own hammer called Stormbreaker. While they share similarities, Beta Ray Bill and Thor are distinct individuals with their own unique characteristics and backstories.


How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma ray?

Both visible light and gamma rays travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (or about 186,282 miles per second). Thus, there is no difference in the speed at which visible light and gamma rays travel.


What is a fast moving beta particle?

Gamma Rays are electromagnetic radiation , just like light is, and it travels the speed of light, 3 x 10^8 m/s . It will always be the fastest because alpha's & beta's are particles with mass and cannot travel the speed of light. The speeds of alpha's & beta's can be different in different situations and do not always have the same speed, like gammas.


What radiations is not a part of the electromagnetic spectrum a microwave b X ray c beta ray d infrared?

Beta rays are electrons, not electromagnetic.
