Is beta the same kind of radiation as alpha but does not have particles?
No Alpha radiation is essentially a helium nucleus - a couple of protons and neutrons bound together as a particle Beta radiation is an electron or positron - still a particle but not the same kind of particle as alpha.
Which Form of radiation that is a particle consisting of two neutrons and two protons?
The form of radiation that consists of two neutrons and two protons is an alpha particle. It is essentially a helium nucleus and is relatively large compared to other types of radiation, with a low penetration ability.
What type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is emitted by thorium-230?
alpha particles.
Why are film badges unsuitable for detecting alpha particle radiation?
Film badges are typically designed to detect higher-energy radiation, such as gamma and beta particles. Alpha particles have low penetrating power and are usually stopped by air or a thin layer of material, which can prevent them from reaching the film inside the badge to create an image. As a result, film badges may not be sensitive enough to detect alpha particle radiation effectively.
What is alpha particle detector and what is the application of bjt in alpha particle detector?
A Geiger counter, also called a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. They detect the emission of nuclear radiation: alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays. A Geiger counter detects radiation by ionization produced in a low-pressure gas in a Geiger-Müller tube
Which of these masses is the largest alpha particle antineutrino gamma radiation beta particle?
Alpha Particle
What is the radiation type for alpha?
Alpha (and beta) radiation is "particle radiation" Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.
Is an alpha a particle or a wave?
Beta is a particle. In beta- it is an electron and an electron antineutrino. In beta+ it is a positron and an electron neutrino.
What are the names of 2 types of ionising radiation?
Alpha and Beta Radiation are types of ionizing radiation. They are both charged particles though Alpha is heavier than the particle Beta.
How do the mass and size of an alpha particle compare with mass and size of beta particle?
The mass and size of an alpha particle compare with the masa and size of beta particle in the sense that the alpha particle is significantly larger in both size and mass that the beta and gamma particles. This is why it is called the alpha particle.
What radiation releases a helium particle?
Alpha radiation is essentially a Helium nucleus (not the whole atom, apha particles don't have electrons on them). An alpha particle is just two protons and two neutrons and as a result they also have a relative charge of +2.
Is beta the same kind of radiation as alpha but does not have particles?
No Alpha radiation is essentially a helium nucleus - a couple of protons and neutrons bound together as a particle Beta radiation is an electron or positron - still a particle but not the same kind of particle as alpha.
What is a stream of particles containing two neutrons and two protons?
A stream of particles containing two neutrons and two protons is an alpha particle. Alpha particles are emitted during alpha decay in radioactive processes. They have a positive charge and are relatively heavy compared to other types of particles.
What is made when Uranium-238 gives off an alpha particle?
radiation
Which Form of radiation that is a particle consisting of two neutrons and two protons?
The form of radiation that consists of two neutrons and two protons is an alpha particle. It is essentially a helium nucleus and is relatively large compared to other types of radiation, with a low penetration ability.
Which radiation is identical in mass and charge helium nucleus?
process by which a target nucleus can be split into two smaller nuclei upon bombardment
Positively charged particle consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons which is given off by a radioactive substance is called what?
A radiation particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons is called an Alpha Particle. Alpha Particles have the same structure as a Helium nucleus. There are three forms of radiation, Alpha (Helium nucleus), Beta (a lone electron) and Gamma (an Electromagnetic wave).
