The most penetrating type of radiation is the a Gamma ray b Nuclide c Beta particle d Alpha particle?
Generally gamma radiation is the most penetrating one, but it is also least ionising. I don't quite understand what you mean by saying "Nuclide" radiation. Nuclides are generally isotopes, not radiation. Nuclides (isotopes) don't have to be radioactive, but the isotopes that lie outside the curve of stability (function of the number of proton and the number of neutrons in a particular nucleus) are unstable and do decay (are radioactive)
What else can I help you with?
What particle has the highest penetrating ability?
Gamma rays have the highest penetrating ability among all particles. They are a form of electromagnetic radiation and can travel long distances through materials, making them difficult to shield against.
What are 3 kinds of radiation given off by radioactive substances?
The three types of radiation given off by radioactive substances are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles are the least penetrating, beta particles are more penetrating than alpha particles, and gamma rays are the most penetrating and dangerous type of radiation.
Alpha particles are equal to?
Any element that needs to emit it in order to stabilise. And they are not the nuclei of the element, they are made up of two protons and two neutrons, and it is also the most ionising radiation as well.
Is alpha or gamma is more absorbed by matter?
Gamma radiation is more penetrating and is able to travel further through matter compared to alpha radiation. Alpha radiation, on the other hand, is absorbed quickly by even a sheet of paper or skin due to its larger mass and charge, making it less penetrating than gamma radiation.
When radioactive uranium decays it emits an alpha particle and produces a nuclide of thorium . according to the nuclear equation what is the mass of the thorium produced?
When uranium undergoes alpha decay, it emits an alpha particle (which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons) and transforms into thorium. The mass of the thorium produced can be determined by subtracting the mass of the emitted alpha particle from the original mass of the uranium nuclide. The specific mass of thorium will depend on the isotope of uranium that is decaying, but it generally corresponds to the mass number of the uranium minus 4 (for the alpha particle).
Which is larger antineutrino alpha particle beta particle or gamma radiation?
Gamma radiation is the most energetic and penetrating of the options provided, followed by the alpha particle, beta particle, and antineutrino, in descending order.
What type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is emitted by thorium-230?
alpha particles.
What type of ionized radiation is the least penetrating?
Alpha radiation.
Does alpha decay always decreases the number of protons by an even number?
Yes, an alpha radiation particle is 2 protons and 2 neutrons so for every alpha particle emitted the radioactive nuclide loses 2 protons.
What form of ionizing radiation is least penetrating?
alpha
Which of these masses is the largest alpha particle antineutrino gamma radiation beta particle?
Alpha Particle
What radiation has the weakest penetrating power?
Alpha radiation has the weakest penetrating power among the three common types of radiation (alpha, beta, gamma). Alpha particles can be stopped by a sheet of paper or a few centimeters of air, making them less penetrating but more damaging if inhaled or ingested.
What is the radiation type for alpha?
Alpha (and beta) radiation is "particle radiation" Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.
What particle has the highest penetrating ability?
Gamma rays have the highest penetrating ability among all particles. They are a form of electromagnetic radiation and can travel long distances through materials, making them difficult to shield against.
Why are film badges unsuitable for detecting alpha particle radiation?
Film badges are typically designed to detect higher-energy radiation, such as gamma and beta particles. Alpha particles have low penetrating power and are usually stopped by air or a thin layer of material, which can prevent them from reaching the film inside the badge to create an image. As a result, film badges may not be sensitive enough to detect alpha particle radiation effectively.
What is a particle of alpha?
Alpha particles are positively charged. They have low penetrating power but high ionizing power.
Is alpha a radiation ray?
No, it's a particle. Often written a it is the least penetrating radiation not able to penetrate a pice of paper. Consists of a helium nucleus superscript 4 over sub script 2 He
