Alpha particles consist of 2 protons and 2 neutrons bound together, which is identical to a helium-4 nucleus.
Alpha rays are helium nuclei, two protons and two neutrons, an atomic mass number of 4, and a charge of +2. Beta rays are electrons or, in some cases, positrons, an atomic mass number of 1 / 1854, and a charge of -1, or +1 for the positron.
Alpha rays are not one of the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum. Alpha rays are actually streams of alpha particles, which are clusters of two protons and two neutrons emitted by certain types of radioactive materials.

X-rays are electromagnetic waves with high energy and penetrate through tissues, used in medical imaging. Alpha rays are particles emitted by radioactive materials, consisting of two protons and two neutrons, and have low penetration power but high ionization ability. In terms of health effects, exposure to X-rays can increase the risk of cancer, while exposure to alpha rays can cause significant damage if internalized.
Yes. Alpha rays are streams of alpha particles (helium nuclei), each of which carries 2 times the charge of a proton. In S.I. units the alpha particle's charge is +3.2 x 10-19 Coulombs, to two significant figures.
These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Alpha rays are helium-4 nuclei, beta rays can be electrons or positrons, gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves.These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

Alpha particles are helium nuclei -- each particle is composed of two protons and two neutrons. A stream of alpha particles may be called a ray, although as it is not electromagnetic radiation that is probably inaccurate.
Gamma rays are very high energy Photons. Whereas, alpha particles are Helium nuclei.

An alpha ray is a type of radioactive decay product that consists of two protons and two neutrons, which is essentially a helium nucleus. Alpha rays have low penetration power and can be stopped by a piece of paper or human skin.
Alpha wave has nothing to do with X-rays, or with physics. They are a classification of "brain waves" as seen on EEGs; in the 7-13 Hz region they are only seen when the eyes of the subject are closed. Alpha particles are in the domain of physics; not waves or rays, but the nuclei of helium atoms.

The nucleus of a helium atom is called an alpha particle. The electromagnetic waves emitted by a nucleus are called gamma rays.
Alpha rays are helium ions, He2+.
Alpha, beta, and gamma rays are types of ionizing radiation. Alpha rays consist of positively charged particles (helium nuclei), beta rays are either electrons or positrons, and gamma rays are high-energy photons. These types of radiation have different penetrating abilities and biological effects.
