Read the passage below about different types of radiation. Different types of radiation have different penetrating abilities. Fo
r example, gamma rays can pass through cloth and paper, but alpha particles are blocked by cloth and paper. Beta particles are blocked by aluminum foil, but gamma rays are not. However, all three types of radiation are blocked by thick concrete or lead. Now, examine a table of penetrating powers of different types of radiation. Material 1 2 3 Lead Stopped Stopped Stopped Cloth Not stopped Stopped Stopped Aluminum foil Not stopped Stopped Stopped Wood Not stopped Stopped Stopped Paper Not stopped Stopped Not stopped Thick concrete Stopped Stopped Stopped Based on the information, at which numbered spot in the table does each type of radiation belong?
<h2>Answer : 1 is gamma, 2 is alpha and 3 is beta radiations.</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>
In the given information all the radiations were stopped by the lead block, if we assume that first radiations were gamma radiation, as they were not stopped by the cloth whereas all other radiations were stopped.
In second case, aluminum foil and wood were able to block alpha and beta radiations. Whereas, paper was used to stop the alpha particles but not the gamma and beta rays. And then a thick concrete stopped all the radiations.
This clarifies that the first radiation are gamma rays, second is alpha rays and third is beta rays.
Thermal Energy- is the energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object. The faster these particles move, the more heat is generated.
Heat-energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another. The transfer or flow due to the difference in temperature between the two objects.
Temperature- is a measure of how hot or cold something is; specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object, which is a type of energy associated with motion.
The distance of the object could be much bigger if <span>an object,s parallax cannot be detected. It is because t</span>he parallax of an object is inversely proportional to the object's distance from us. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
