Answer : The correct option is, gamma rays only

Explanation :

Penetration power : It is defined as the movement of particles or rays through an object. As more the energy of a particle, more will be the penetrating power.

The increasing order of the penetration power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays will be,

Alpha rays < Beta rays <  Gamma rays

The penetrating power of the given rays varies greatly.

The alpha particles can be restricted by a few pieces of paper.

The beta particles can be pass through the paper but can not pass by the aluminum foil.

The blocking of gamma rays are the most difficult. It can be blocked by concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding.

Hence, the radiation can pass through the sheet of metal and hit the target is, gamma rays only

PLEASE HELP!
Vikki [24]

Answer:

yes, the trash did disappear when she burned it however it releases smoke into the air (and harmful chemicals)

Explanation:

burning trash doesn’t only allow the waste to go down, it will also produce heat and electricity-while producing less greenhouse gas pollution than burning fossil fuels. However trash fires in burning barrels can smolder and, as a result, produce more harmful chemicals in smoke. Harmful contaminants can also be found in dirt. in conclusion, yes trash does disappear when burned but realeases many harmful chemicals.

hope this helped!

How many electrons are in an element if the atomic number is 11?
tatuchka [14]
The answer is sodium 
Sodium has 11 protons (atomic number is 11) and has one valence electron. As the Bohr model diagram below shows, Sodium has 11 protons and 12 neutrons<span> in the nucleus to make the mass number 23. The 11 electrons necessary to make Sodium neutral (protons = electrons) are arranged in a pattern of 2-8-1.</span>
