Gamma radiation is the most energetic and penetrating of the options provided, followed by the alpha particle, beta particle, and antineutrino, in descending order.
The speed of a gamma particle is approximately the speed of light, which is around 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum.
The new atom formed from the decay of Neptunium-237 is Protactinium-233. After emitting an alpha particle (Helium-4 nucleus), a beta particle (electron or positron), and a gamma ray (photon), Neptunium-237 transmutes into Protactinium-233.
A gamma particle is a high-energy photon emitted as a result of radioactive decay. Gamma particles have no mass or charge, allowing them to penetrate deeply into materials and tissues. They are commonly used in various applications such as gamma imaging in medicine and industry.
Gamma rays are not particles, they are a form of electromagnetic radiation. Alpha and beta particles are types of particles emitted during radioactive decay.
Gamma ray is not a particle. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
γ (gamma) is a photon.
The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.
Gamma.
How gamma radiation is formed
Gamma radiation is the most energetic and penetrating of the options provided, followed by the alpha particle, beta particle, and antineutrino, in descending order.
Alpha Particle
No. There's a reason that a beta particle can only penetrate a couple of mm and that a gamma particle can go through everything.
The speed of a gamma particle is approximately the speed of light, which is around 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum.
When an iodine-131 atom decays by emitting a beta particle and a gamma particle, it forms xenon-131. The beta particle is an electron, while the gamma particle is a high-energy photon. This decay process helps iodine-131 become a stable element, xenon-131.
The new atom formed from the decay of Neptunium-237 is Protactinium-233. After emitting an alpha particle (Helium-4 nucleus), a beta particle (electron or positron), and a gamma ray (photon), Neptunium-237 transmutes into Protactinium-233.
