Question

characteristics property of beta rays

Answer 1

What are the properties of beta particles?

Beta particles have a mass which is half of one thousandth

of the mass of a proton (Figure 1)

and carry a single negative charge.

Beta-particles are emitted with a

continuous energy spectrum ranging

from near zero energy up to a maximum

energy specific to each radionuclide.

Answer 2

The characteristic properties of beta rays are as follows ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

➡ The rest mass of a beta particle is 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg

➡ The charge of a beta particle is - 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

➡ They ionise the gases they pass through.

➡ The speed of beta particle is less than 3 × 10⁸ m/s

➡ The beta particles affect photographic plate.

➡ They cause fluorescence on striking a fluorescent material.

➡ They are deflected by electric and magnetic fields.

➡ They can be stopped by 1 mm lead and 5 mm thick aluminium itself.

➡ They cause biological damage in our body.

➡ Their penetrating power is nearly 5 m in air.

➡ They are represented by $\mathsf{^0_{-1}\beta}$
