Awesome! Thanks James & Daren for making and sharing this video. Aren't the times we're living in incredible? Anyone can learn anything, because people like you, who have passion for sharing knowledge, bother to take their time to create some value and give it to the world free of charge. Thank you!
Well, alpha particles are smaller than the tiny gaps in paper so some will still make it through, but most will not. Glass is even more effective, even a mm will all but stop them. However, SOME will always make it through, even when such a thing is 'impossible', because of quantum tunneling. Quantum tunneling is also what allowed them to break off from their atom, leaving with less energy than was required to overcome the nuclear force. A good analogy would be, pretend you jump to dunk a basketball, but fly through the roof and into space moving at escape velocity, even though your jump was not any stronger than any other. This is basically the difference in the alpha particles energy vs the energy required to break away, but it still happens. They leave the atom as if they have a lower mass than they do, with the energy as the velocity required to escape the nuclei. This is why large nuclei fire off higher velocity alpha particles. However, they 'remember' they are heavy immediately though and begin slamming on the brakes, usually. Wouldn't it be fun if macro physics worked like quantum physics :P What makes alpha radiation particularly dangerous is not only how it is ionizing(essentially frying atoms it gets too close to), it is also heavy, so it is basically a wrecking ball. *IF* alpha manages to hit your dna, it does anywhere from 10-1000 times more damage than any other type of radiation. That usually takes breathing or consuming it though, thanks to our skin.
The explanation is incomplete. 1) Alpha - consists of helium nuclei. Carries the most dangerous destructive force due to mass and highest ionizing potential than other two radiation types. 2) Beta - electron or positron, the second most destructive potential. 3) Gamma - is just the light at very high frequency, hence consist of photons and behaves like waves. The least dangerous type of radiation, however there's an evidence of latent damage it can cause in case of long term exposure.
There are only TWO types of radiation: Particle and electromagnetic. Particle radiation has sub-types: 1) Alpha, 2) Beta (Electron and Positron), 3) Proton, 4) neutrino 5) and Neutron. Neutron radiation being the only radiation that can make something radioactive. Electromagnetic radiation falls along a spectrum of low frequencies and high energies starting at the Ultraviolet, running through X-Rays, and continuing on into and beyond Gamma. However, some classify Bremsstrahlung radiation, the electromagnetic radiation produced by the braking/slowing of radioactive particles. as a third type of radiation.
Can gamma rays and alpha or beta particles be omitted at the same time? When alpha/beta particles are omitted, is it only particles or is there energy as well?
When an object emits alpha radiation, is it safe to assume that it will also emit some beta or gamma radiation? I mean, if one has a beta and gamma/x-ray radiation monitor, would it able to "detect" (implicitly) alpha from a contaminated item?

XDXDXDXD LET'S PUT IT IN LIKE EVERYTHING AND SAY IT HAS HEALING POWERS XDXDXDXDXD!?!!! 1!?
Thank you for the video.I have a question for you please. Would you know if it is normal for outside radiation readings to vary from as much as 0.05 Micro Sv to 0.20 Micro Sv while in the same exact location over a 30 minute period taking readings once per minute? How about a range of to 0.3 the very next day? Would you suspect a bad unit? Thank You.

2:47 it’s actually a particle and a wave at the same time like other particles Or am I missing something cuz it’s a photon and in my understanding of physics it’s both a wave and a particle at the same time
We're starting the physics course at the moment, so we'll be getting some magnetic fields videos up in the coming months. Teachers are writing scripts at the moment.
I'll give you 9/10, just didn't like the bit "......its stopped by lead" ! You should have said "lead can stop it if its thick enough" Also maybe the "range" of energies that gamma comes in should have been mentioned, as this affects what it can penetrate. A critique from down under
Alpha radiations can penetrate through 5 to 8 cm in air.Beta radiations can penetrate through 5m in air. Gamma radiations can penetrate through 500m in air. Alpha particles readily ionise the gas through which it passes. The ionising power of Alpha rays is 10000 times that of Gamma rays and 100 times that of Beta Rays.
I like it except--I'm wondering why the alpha particles look like they have four positive charges when they have two. Also, you say that a beta particle is an electron and what gamma radiation is but you don't explicitly say what alpha radiation is.
+lynb87 alpha radiation has a plus 2 charge, it is often compared to a helium particle as they have the same number of protons and neutrons. Although you cant exactly call an alpha particle helium as it has no electrons.

It's been 4ever since I've learnt about these... Is it Alpha or Beta used in microwaves & smartphones? Bc I'd think it'd be Alpha as Beta would by X-rays & other radioactive medical & lab devices. And Gamma would simply be the sun x infinity... light wise!

this really helped with revising for my test thanks.
This is so Fucking beautiful thank you so much.
Thanks for this explaination.. I needed that..
you are so welcome :)
Hello...gamma radiationts is not stopped by lead but just reduced
YES, even with the biggest lead block in the world. Eventually, it will pass through.
You left out the part when beta decays a proton is transmuted into a neutron and a neutrino (little neutral lepton) is also discharged.
Neutrino -- a Leptin with weak interation
I slept 4 times while watching this.

When an object emits alpha radiation, is it safe to assume that it will also emit some beta or gamma radiation? I mean, if one has a beta and gamma/x-ray radiation monitor, would it able to "detect" (implicitly) alpha from a contaminated item?

Shouldn't alpha cancel out beta or does it it combine making a larger dip and crest?

Photons have no mass. E=M+p means energy can be converted to mass, not energy is mass.
the best way to teach....❤
2:47 it’s actually a particle and a wave at the same time like other particles
Or am I missing something cuz it’s a photon and in my understanding of physics it’s both a wave and a particle at the same time
Not particles of matter but particles of electromagnetic radiation
do they have a video on magnetic fields?
We're starting the physics course at the moment, so we'll be getting some magnetic fields videos up in the coming months. Teachers are writing scripts at the moment.
u cant stop gamma rays.... use the word reduce or minimize instead of " STOP"
Photons are particles, massless, but as much particle as any other. QFT, Word.
Thanks a lot
Très intéressant et instructif ! ^^
Ouais je sais
i know my teacher uses this video alot for lessons haha. hello mr below
Seriously, gamma radiation can FUCK YOU UP!!!😰
I'll give you 9/10, just didn't like the bit "......its stopped by lead" ! You should have said "lead can stop it if its thick enough" Also maybe the "range" of energies that gamma comes in should have been mentioned, as this affects what it can penetrate. A critique from down under
What about cosmic rays
Luv the audio
So many rude comments. Unnecessary.
You should say so many dumb people. LOL
Very helpful, thank you!
You can easily block Alpha Radiation with a Gas Mask, Beta needs a full Hazmat outfit and a Mask, You can NOT avoid Gamma Ray.
But you can reflect it
Or hide behind any dense object
There is no escape...
What about neutron radiation?
Alpha radiations can penetrate through 5 to 8 cm in air.Beta radiations can penetrate through 5m in air. Gamma radiations can penetrate through 500m in air. Alpha particles readily ionise the gas through which it passes. The ionising power of Alpha rays is 10000 times that of Gamma rays and 100 times that of Beta Rays.
He sounds like viktor bryukhanov..... Those who watched Chernobyl series would get it...
well, because Gamma rays are photons, they are tecnically photon particles at the same time as being wavelenghts.
I like it except--I'm wondering why the alpha particles look like they have four positive charges when they have two. Also, you say that a beta particle is an electron and what gamma radiation is but you don't explicitly say what alpha radiation is.
+lynb87 alpha radiation has a plus 2 charge, it is often compared to a helium particle as they have the same number of protons and neutrons. Although you cant exactly call an alpha particle helium as it has no electrons.
+Pranay Manghnani You CAN call it an ionized He atom.
did the other voice overs die?
2:22
that's why "BIG SHOW'S" name starts with a "B"
Quarantine education boss
At 3:00 You said that gamma radiation has no mass, but Einstein's law of energy being equivalent to mass, so surely it must have a mass.
0:12 photographic pepper
Good
Lead does not stop gamma rays. it slows it down :)
Won't a thick enough layer of lead eventually stop a gamma particle if it slows it down?

please give your narrators a decent microphone! the animations are great, but they need decent sound.
Thanks for the feedback - our recording process is much better nowadays. We agree, the old audio's weren't great.

where I find gamma on the earth?
Solar rays
KOOL!
Actually gamma isent stopped by lead but it is slowed down not stopped though great vid anyways
This guy's my physics teacher at school :D
That is very strange.... In my opinion.
Is he tho
Listen narrator, if you need to cough then cough
Alright, one mistake. Gamma is a particle, but the distribution and behavior acts like that of a wave.
shut up
Can be made better by changing the voice
it is amazing
