How are gamma rays different from alpha and beta particles

Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 352 People

How does gamma radiation differ from alpha or beta particle radiation?

A.) it does not consist of matter
B.) it does not consist of energy
C.) it only consists of space
D.) it only consists of matter

Answered by admin @


Alpha radiation consists of fast-moving helium particles, and Beta radiation consists of electrons. Although helium particles are tiny, and electrons even tinier, these still consistent matter. Alpha and Beta waves consist of matter.

Gamma radiation consists of pure energy in the form of electromagnetic rays, and therefore do not consist of matter. 

The answer is A) It does not consist of matter
