What are the 3types of radation?
The three main types of radiation are alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei, beta radiation involves electrons or positrons, and gamma radiation is electromagnetic radiation. Each type has different properties and levels of penetration.
How different alpha and beta radiation from gamma rays?
I'm not sure there are quantifiers for "difference", but "completely" comes close. Alpha and beta radiation is (massive) particle based, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation ... technically this is a particle (photons), but photons have zero invariant mass. Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus on the run. Beta radiation is an electron on the run. Gamma radiation is a very high energy "light" ray (electromagnetic radiation).
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.
List the three main types of nuclear radiation in order of increasing ionizing ability?
Alpha, Beta, Gamma and cosmic are all examples of radiation.Types of radiation could be:Ionizing radiationElectromagnetic radiationInfra red radiation
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.
Where on the spectrum of electromagnetic waves does alpha radiation fit in?
Alpha radiation is not electromagnetic. It's a stream of helium nuclei.
Is alpha radiation a form of light found on the electromagnetic spectrum?
Signs piont to no you stupid are somthing?
Which of the alpha beta and gamma radiation is formed of electromagnetic radiation?
We know that gamma rays are electromagnetic energy, and they'll occupy a place on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. You can locate gamma rays right at the top end of the EM spectrum because their frequencies are so high (or their wavelengths are so short, if you prefer).
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.
Which is not one of the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum - UV rays or Alpha rays or Visible light or Infrared rays?
Alpha rays are not one of the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum. Alpha rays are actually streams of alpha particles, which are clusters of two protons and two neutrons emitted by certain types of radioactive materials.
Which is not considered a raditional ray gamma beta alpha or infrared?
Alpha and beta are not electromagnetic radiation.
Are alpha radiation dangerous?
Any electromagnetic radiation can be dangerous. Alpha waves are higher on the radiation scale than x-rays so yes, they are dangerous.

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.
