No, a microwave does not produce alpha rays. Microwaves use electromagnetic radiation to heat food by causing water molecules to vibrate and generate heat. Alpha rays are a type of ionizing radiation that consists of alpha particles emitted by certain radioactive materials.
Gamma rays have higher penetrating ability compared to alpha and beta particles. Gamma rays can penetrate through most materials, while alpha particles can be stopped by a sheet of paper and beta particles by a few millimeters of aluminum.
Alpha rays are positively charged particles emitted by certain radioactive materials. They consist of two protons and two neutrons, equivalent to a helium nucleus. Alpha rays have a low penetrating power and can be stopped by a sheet of paper or human skin.
No, alpha particles have the highest ionizing power due to their larger size and positive charge. Cathode rays have less ionizing power compared to alpha particles, but they still have the ability to ionize atoms and molecules when they interact with them.
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.
* There are no alpha rays. You are thinking of alpha particles; one of these is the nucleus of a helium atom composed of two protons and two neutrons. The energy of an alpha particle depends entirely on how fast it is travelling. * Gamma radiation is high energy electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum goes (starting at the low energy end) * radio waves * microwaves * infrared * light * ultraviolet * "soft" x-rays * "hard" x-rays * gamma rays. The difference in energy between alpha particles and gamma photons depends on how each are produced; if they are occurring naturally gammas tend to have higher energy than alphas. However, alphas coming out of a large particle accelerator have very high energies, and only a few gammas coming in from space can beat them.
No, radioactive elements can also produce gamma rays along with alpha and beta particles. Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from the nucleus during nuclear decay.
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 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.
The microwave rays heat it.
Alpha rays are helium ions, He2+.
The gamma rays are. The alpha and beta "rays" are not.
You think probable to beta rays, gamma rays, alpha rays.
Alpha particles have a high ionizing power beacaue they have a great linear transfer of energy.
* Alpha rays (particles) * Beta rays * Gamma rays * Spontaneous fission neutrons
Gamma rays are very high energy Photons. Whereas, alpha particles are Helium nuclei.
alpha rays follow north pole of magnet and beta rays south pole.
Alpha rays are positively charged, beta negatively charged and gamma rays is an electromagnetic wave(like light) which has no charge. They have obtained their charges on basis of where they originated from within the atom.
