Alpha particles are heavy doubly ionized helium nuclei.

Beta particles are nuclear electrons.

Gamma are extremely short photons with zero rest mass.

Hence obviously,

Speed of Gamma>Beta>Alpha.

Why is gamma radiation different from alpha and beta radiation?

Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, whereas alpha and beta radiation are composed of particles. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy, whereas alpha and beta particles are larger and less penetrating. Gamma radiation does not carry an electric charge, while alpha and beta particles do.


Is alpha and beta decay are almost always accompanied by what?

Alpha and beta decay are often accompanied by the emission of gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is a high-energy form of electromagnetic radiation that helps to stabilize the nucleus after alpha or beta decay.


What are the names of the three main types of radiation?

The three main types of radiation are alpha radiation, beta radiation, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of alpha particles, beta radiation consists of beta particles, and gamma radiation consists of gamma rays.


Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?

Electrons are not directly involved in the creation of alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei (2 protons and 2 neutrons), beta radiation is made of electrons (beta-minus) or positrons (beta-plus), and gamma radiation is a high-energy electromagnetic radiation.


List the three main types of nuclear radiation in order of increasing ionizing ability?

What is the radiation type for alpha?

Alpha (and beta) radiation is "particle radiation" Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.


Alpha beta gamma which is uncharged?

gama radiation is uncharged. Alpha is positive and beta is negative.

What is alpha beta and gamma in physics?

The first three letters of the greek alphabet. If you mean particles, then ... alpha is a helium nucleolus, beta is an electron, and gamma is electromagnetic radiation.


What is the Method used in alpha beta gamma?

Alpha, beta, and gamma refer to the types of radiation emitted by radioactive materials. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei, beta radiation consists of electrons or positrons, and gamma radiation consists of high-energy photons. Each type of radiation has its own properties and can interact differently with matter.
