How is gamma different from alpha and beta radiation?
Alpha, beta and gamma are three types of ionizing radiation. When they collide with atoms, they knock electron(s) out, leaving an ionized atom behind. At each collision, they lose energy. Alpha particles are the bare nuclei of helium atoms: two protons and two neutrons. They are relatively large, slow particles, and do not penetrate into materials: they are stopped by a sheet of paper, or by the skin. Beta particles are high-energy electrons or positions. They are much smaller and lighter than alpha particles, and start at much higher speeds. They can penetrate paper, but are stopped by a thin metal foil. Gamma rays are the shortest possible wavelength of electromagnetic radiation/Iight waves/photons). They are highly penetrating and only stopped by extremely thick lead or some equivalent, thicker, mass of lower density.
What is the difference of alpha beta and gamma radiation?
These are types of both particulate and electromagnetic radiation, and alpha and beta are the former while gamma is the latter. Let's look at each one in brief. An alpha particle is a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons all hooked together. It's a helium-4 nucleus, and it's particulate radiation. A gamma ray is electromagnetic radiation (an electromagnetic ray) of very high frequency and energy (which also means very short wavelength). A beta particle is one of two types of particles, either a beta plus particle or a beta minus particle. The beta minus particle is an electron, and a beta plus particle is a positron, or anti-electron (antimatter). Beta radiation is particulate radiation. What is key to understanding these guys is how they are formed. Use the links below to the three questions that specifically speak to the characteristics of each of these types of radiation. These questions are already posted and answered here; no need for repetition.
Which barriers will stop beta particles?
yes , it will it has to be a cm thick by : dominetris s
What is the nuclear decay equation for potassium-40?
There are three beta decay modes for 40K, and so three equations. The equation for the negative beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 2040Ca + -10e where the -10e represents a beta particle or electron. The equation for the positive beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 1840Ar+ 10e where the 10e represents a positive beta particle or positron. The equation for the decay of 40K by electron capture is:1940K + -10e --> 1840Ar + ve
What is the speed of gamma?
Same as speed of light "C". Gamma Rays are also form of Electro Magnetic Radiations All EMR incl Light travel at same speed in same medium. Which is normally approximated to 3 x 10^8 m/s

Σ (capital) σ ς ( the third is only put when s is used at the end of a word)
What do alpha cells secrete?
alpha cells just like beta and gamma cells secrete radiation. These were discovered by a french scientist in the 1800's

What is the answer to this math problem 180 10 log x 130?
180 10 log(x) 130 = -(117000 i integral_(-iinfinity+gamma)^(iinfinity+gamma)(Gamma(-s)^2 Gamma(1+s))/((-1+x)^s Gamma(1-s)) ds)/pi for (-1<gamma<0 and |arg(-1+x)|<pi)
When is DNA replicated in a cells?
During S phase :)
Yugioh- what is the difference between main phase 1 and main phase 2?
their really isn't a big difference between them except for the fact in Main Phase 2 you can't attack again if you are planning on setting Spell [S]/ Trap [T] cards face-up or face-down. what i mean is - Draw Phase - Main Phase 1 - Battle Phase - Main Phase 2 - End Phase during Main Phase 1 you can set your s/t cards and launch you attack in your battle phase. Main Phase 2 if you can set more s/t cards after your done setting the amount you want to set you'll probably have to end your turn.
How gamma are members of the exponential family prove?
Think you've got this backwards. The exponential probability distribution is a gamma probability distribution only when the first parameter, k is set to 1. Consistent with the link below, if random variable X is distributed gamma(k,theta), then for gamma(1, theta), the random variable is distributed exponentially. The gamma function in the denominator is equal to 1 when k=1. The denominator will reduce to theta when k = 1. The first term will be X0 = 1. using t to represent theta, we have f(x,t) = 1/t*exp(-x/t) or we can substitute L = 1/t, and write an equivalent function: f(x;L) = L*exp(-L*x) for x > 0 See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_distribution [edit] To the untrained eye the question might seem backwards after a quick google search, yet qouting wikipedia lacks deeper insight in to the question: What the question is referring to is a class of functions that factor into the following form: f(y;theta) = s(y)t(theta)exp[a(y)b(theta)] = exp[a(y)b(theta) + c(theta) + d(y)] where a(y), d(y) are functions only reliant on y and where b(theta) and c(theta) are answers only reliant on theta, an unkown parameter. if a(y) = y, the distribution is said to be in "canonical form" and b(theta) is often called the "natural parameter" So taking the gamma density function, where alpha is a known shape parameter and the parameter of interest is beta, the scale parameter. The density function follows as: f(y;beta) = {(beta^alpha)*[y^(alpha - 1)]*exp[-y*beta]}/gamma(alpha) where gamma(alpha) is defined as (alpha - 1)! Hence the gamma-density can be factored as follows: f(y;beta) = {(beta^alpha)*[y^(alpha - 1)]*exp[-y*beta]}/gamma(alpha) =exp[alpha*log(beta) + (alpha-1)*log(y) - y*beta - log[gamma(alpha)] from the above expression, the canonical form follows if: a(y) = y b(theta) = -beta c(theta) = alpha*log(beta) d(y) = (alpha - 1)*log(y) - log[gamma(alpha)] which is sufficient to prove that gamma distributions are part of the exponential family.
