Why is beta and alpha penetration power different?
Beta and alpha are two different things. Beta has negative charges, Alpha has positive. Now the thing is that their ionizing powers also differ. Alpha has extremely HIGH ionizing power whereas Beta has comparatively less (gamma has no ionizing power). Basically alpha ionizes the particles around it very fast and there fore it cannot proceed further into the material, whereas Beta has less ionizing power and can therefore travel farther into the material as the particles around it don't get ionized as fast as alpha. (this is the same reason why gamma has such high penetration power, because it doesn't ionize substances at all). Basically alpha has least penetration power as the ionizing power is most, Beta has medium ionizing and penetration power (compared to alpha and gamma) Gamma has most penetration power as it's ionizing power is least. Hope that answers the question.
What is the approximate size of the smallest angle of a triangle whose sides are 4 5 and 8?
Why approximate? I will show you what you should know being in the trig section. Law of cosines. Degree mode!! a = 4 (angle opposite = alpha) b = 5 ( angle opposite = beta) c = 8 ( angle opposite = gamma ) a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos(alpha) 4^2 = 5^2 + 8^2 - 2(5)(8) cos(alpha) 16 = 89 - 80 cos(alpha) -73 = -80 cos(alpha) 0.9125 = cos(alpha) arcos(0.9125) = alpha alpha = 24.15 degrees ------------------------------ b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos(beta) 5^2 = 4^2 + 8^2 - 2(4)(8) cos(beta) 25 = 80 - 64 cos(beta) -55 = -64 cos(beta) 0.859375 = cos(beta) arcos(0.859375) = beta beta = 30.75 degrees --------------------------------- Now to find gamma, subtract from 180 degrees 180 - 24.15 - 30.75 = 125.1 degrees alpha = 24.15 degrees ( subject to rounding, but all add to 180 degrees ) beta = 30.75 degrees gamma = 125.1 degrees now you see the smallest, the angle opposite the a side, which is 4 ( be in degree mode!!)

Three froms of radioactivity are?
Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Alpha and beta are both particles, but gamma is in the form of a wave. Gamma can travel the fathest but Alpha is the most dangerous when in contact with your skin
What are the particles called from a nuclear decay?
These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

Which is not considered a raditional ray gamma beta alpha or infrared?
Alpha and beta are not electromagnetic radiation.
Alpha beta gamma which is uncharged?
gama radiation is uncharged. Alpha is positive and beta is negative.
Can ultrasound waves are alpha beta or gamma rays?
No, they are unrelated. Alpha and beta radiation are particle streams, not waves. And gamma rays are electromagnetic waves.
