Are beta particles positive or negative?
Beta particles can be either positive or negative. It depends if an electron or a positrion is emited. Usually though, beta particles are negative as it is much more common for an electron to be emitted (though that does depend on the substance).
Mass of beta radiation?
A beta particle is an electron, with a mass of approximately 1/1840 of a proton
What is the reason behind when the value of beta is taken negative?
The negative sign in beta represents the inverse relationship between the return on an asset and the return on the overall market. A negative beta suggests that the asset tends to move in the opposite direction of the market, indicating that it is likely to perform well when the market declines and vice versa. This negative correlation can be valuable for diversification purposes in a portfolio.
What are beta values?
The probability that a statistical that will give give a false negative error.
Why is alpha radiation more dangerous than beta rediation when the source of the radiation is inside the body?
Alpha radiation cannot get pass through our body as it cannot penetrate through things. Beta can penetrate through things better than alpha. So if alpha is inside our body then it cannot get outside our body and therefore it becomes dangerous.
