Explanation:

Beta radiation is a current of electrons released at a rate exceeding the speed of light, with a kinetic energy  between 0.2 MeV and 3.2 MeV. Due to their lower mass which is approximately 5.5×10−4 amu (9.130×10^(−24)g), interactions between β-particles and the atoms of pass-through materials are much less frequent than the interactions between 5-007-particles: less than 200 ion pairs are typically formed in each centimetre of air passage.
