What are beta rays also called?

Beta rays are also called beta particles. They are high-speed electrons or positrons emitted by a radioactive nucleus during beta decay.


Why the speed of beta rays emitted by the same element are different?

because the control of neucles on different electrons is different and we know that beta rays are infact electrons then we can say that the speed of beta rays emitted by the same element is different


What rays have more energy beta or gamma rays?

Gamma rays have more energy than beta rays. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the highest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, while beta rays are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons.


What are the particles called from a 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.

Which ray is the fastest gamma alpha beta?

Gamma rays. Since they are electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light.


Is there beta rays present in nucleus?

yes beta rays are present in nucleus. these rays are due to negative pi meson


Are gamma rays the same size as beta rays?

no


What is one unique fact about beta particales?

Beta particles are electrons, generally emitted by the cathode of a glow discharge system. When beta particles was discovered the atomic model was not known and the new "rays" were called with progressive names alfa rays, beta rays, gamma rays and so on.


Did any rays are identical to beta rays?

I am rayray girlfriend


Are X-rays similar to beta rays?

Though both are forms of ionizing radiation, an X-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation, while a beta ray is actually a beta particle. The beta particle is a form of particulate radiation, and the beta particle could be either an electron or a positron.


Are thegamma and alfa rays electromagnetic radiation?

The gamma rays are. The alpha and beta "rays" are not.


What are the rays and particles that are emitted by a radioactive material?

Radioactive materials emit several types of radiation, including alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons and are relatively heavy and positively charged. Beta particles are high-energy, high-speed electrons (beta-minus) or positrons (beta-plus) emitted from a nucleus. Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation with high energy and no mass or charge, often accompanying alpha and beta decay.
