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.

How can water boil without heat?​
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Put water at room temperature into a vacuum chamber and begin removing the air. Eventually, the boiling temperature will fall below the water temperature and boiling will begin without heating. Or if you want to be easy but messy, add dry ice to a bowl of water and watch how the water starts to boil.
