Study Notes
Radioactive Radiation
- γ-rays are neutral and have a very high energy with shorter wavelengths than x-rays.
- Among radioactive radiations, γ-rays possess the highest penetration power, surpassing α and β rays.
- The penetration power ratio of alpha, beta, and gamma rays is 1:100:1000, demonstrating γ-rays' superior ability to penetrate materials.
- Gamma rays are particularly harmful to biological organisms, as their high penetration capability can lead to mutations.
Effect of Radiations on Photographic Plate
- All three types of rays (α-rays, β-rays, and γ-rays) interact with photographic plates, but β-rays have the most significant effect due to their higher electron/mass (e/m) ratio.
- Visual representations illustrate how α, β, and γ rays penetrate photographic plates and lead blocks, emphasizing their varying effects and penetration capabilities.
