How is the ionising and penetrating powers of α, β and γ radiations compared with each other? |
|
Answer» Comparison of Ionising power of α, β,γ Heavier particle has high ionising power. a → 10,000 times of α and 100 times of β P → 100 times of α ∴ Maximum ionising power a, minimum ionising power γ. Comparison of Penetrating power of α, β and γ Light particle has maximum speed hence maximum penetrating power. α has very large penetrating power up to a few hundred meter in air. α has small penetrating power (being very heavy) 3 to 8 cm in air β- has large penerating power up to few meter in air α < β < γ. |
