Copy this table into your
notes. Complete the table as you work through the revision
notes.
The best way to summarize what the radiations consist of and
the properties they have is to produce a table set out like this…
Alpha
Beta
Gamma
Symbol
Consists of
Charge
Mass relative to proton
Speed
Ionising ability
Range in air
Absorbed by
5.
You now
need to make brief notes and diagrams showing :
a.
how the
radiations are affected by magnetic fields and by electric
fields
b.
experiments
to show and measure the absorption of each radiation
