Rank the three types of natural radiation (α, β, γ):
a)
Interpretation:
The three types of natural radiation (
Concept introduction:
Alpha particle:
Beta particle:
Gamma particle:
Increasing order of mass of three types of natural radiation (
The alpha particle has highest mass when compared to Beta and Gamma particles because the Alpha particles are the positively charged particles. Beta has more mass than the gamma because Beta has negatively charged particles and gamma has negligible mass. Then the increasing order of mass among radiations
b)
Interpretation:
The three types of natural radiation (
has to be ranked.
Concept introduction:
Alpha particle:
Beta particle:
Gamma particle:
The Gamma particle has the highest increasing penetrating power when compare to Alpha and Beta particles because the Gamma particles are the least ionizing power but most penetrating power. Beta has more penetrating power than Alpha because, beta has highest ionizing power and alpha has lowest ionising power. Then the increasing penetrating power among radiations
