How does the penetrating ability of gamma rays compare with that of alpha particles and beta particles?

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.


Differentiate gamma rays from alpha particles?

Gamma rays are very high energy Photons. Whereas, alpha particles are Helium nuclei.

Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation.Alpha particles are helium nuclei.Beta particles are electrons.


What kind of particle is emitted?

Particles emitted can be in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons, beta particles are electrons or positrons, and gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation.


Is gamma not considered a type of radiation ray?

Actually, gamma is the ONLY type of radiation ray. Since the three types of radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays, and the other two are particles, technically, gamma rays are the only radiation rays. If that is not what you are looking for, then I recommend rephrasing your question.


How would you list alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays in order of increasing energy?

Alpha, beta, gamma.


How many types of rays emmited from radio-active elements And which type of charge they have?

There are three main types of rays emitted from radioactive elements: alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles have a positive charge, beta particles have a negative charge, and gamma rays have no charge.


What were the rays emanating from uranium?

* Alpha rays (particles) * Beta rays * Gamma rays * Spontaneous fission neutrons


Why do gamma rays have no mass at all?

Gamma rays have no mass because they are a form of electromagnetic radiation, which consists of massless particles called photons. Photons, including gamma rays, do not have rest mass, but they do have energy and momentum.


Which one of these rays is not a particle Gamma Alpha beta?

The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an electromagnetic wave that transmits energy.
