If the mixture of electrically neutral how many more beta particles than alpha particles are in the balloon?
alpha particles would have twice as many beta particles
Which type of radiation may be stopped by protective clothing and mask?
Alpha radiation particles can only harm you if ingested into the body by way of inhalation or body fluid contact. Full body clothing and particle masks can protect you, and it can be washed off the skin if it gets on you (the primary purpose for decontamination showers).
Which type of nuclear radiation or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
Alpha or beta radiation
What gives off alpha particles?
Alpha particles are a type of particle of radiation that is emmited by certain radioactive materials. The materials that give off Alpha particles are called ''Alpha emitters.''
Name the nuclear radiation that can be easily stopped by skin or cloths?
alpha particles.
Clothing and skin will block the majority of the alpha and beta particles from DU materials?
No. Clothing and skin will block alpha, but not beta.
Which effect of nuclear radiation or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
Mostly inhalation/ingestion of alpha emitter dust particles. These offer little protection from other types of radiation sources.
If the mixture of electrically neutral how many more beta particles than alpha particles are in the balloon?

What is correct about Depleted Uranium DU?
clothing and skin will block the majority of the alpha and beta particles.
How would you list alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays in order of increasing energy?
Alpha, beta, gamma.
What type of field would deflect alpha and beta particles?
A magnetic field would deflect both alpha and beta particles, as would a charged electric field.
Which effect of nuclear radiatin or weapons can you protect yourself from by wearing your protective clothing and mask?
alpha
Which effect of nuclear radation can you protect yourself from if you wear your protective clothing and mask?
alpha and beta radiation
What is a description of alpha radiation?
Alpha radiation is used for people's smoke detectors.
Which nuclear decay particles would inflict the most tissue damage if ingested?
alpha particles
Which type of radiation may be stopped by protective clothing and mask?
Alpha radiation particles can only harm you if ingested into the body by way of inhalation or body fluid contact. Full body clothing and particle masks can protect you, and it can be washed off the skin if it gets on you (the primary purpose for decontamination showers).
