Which nuclear emission has the greatest penetrating power

Physics
1 answer:
velikii [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<em><u>Gamma γ radiations has the highest penetrating power,</u></em> of all the nuclear emissions.

Explanation:

The three major types of nuclear emissions are <em>alpha (α), beta (β)</em> and <em>gamma </em>radiations. Of all three, gamma (Υ) radiations have the highest penetrating power (only shielded by lead and concrete), owing to its lack of mass and charge.

It also has a low ionization power and so does not interact well with matter. IT has vast application in cancer treatment and sterilization mechanism.

The answer is C. nebular are star nurseries. When the massive gas being collapsing in its own weight. Local areas of gas begin to coalesce under gravity. Due to enormous pressure, nuclear fusion begins and a protostar is formed. The protostar grows into the sun as more hydrogen fuses at the core. The planetesimal materials at the edges of the protostellar discs coalesce to form planets that orbit the star.

How does the sun's gravity and the earth inertia keep us orbiting in the solar system
scZoUnD [109]
<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sun’s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earth’s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earth’s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>
