Alpha Radiation: You can't defeat me! Me; I know but he can *A PIECE OF PAPER*

the voice is so soothing and comforting but there are too many puffs of air in the audio >_

that "LOOK!!" 1:00 :)

I like the mic quality

Alpha, Beta and Gamma are the first three letters of the Greek alphabet.

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!

The best voice....like to hear from such lecturers

you know what. I'm about to say It. I don't care that you broke your elbow.

this really helped with revising for my test thanks.

This is so Fucking beautiful thank you so much.

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.

I slept 4 times while watching this.

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.

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.

Thank you! Very easy to understand!

One more minute of his voise and im getting heartattack

Thanks for this explaination.. I needed that..

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?

Marie Curie: ok so i just found out there's an element i called radium, and after researching it a while I've decided to call its and other element's unusual properties "radioactivity". Im not still sure what it really does so before we do anything we need to thoroughly resear.. Companies: WHAAT? NEW ELEMENT?!?! XDXDXDXD LET'S PUT IT IN LIKE EVERYTHING AND SAY IT HAS HEALING POWERS XDXDXDXDXD!?!!! 1!?

I like the mic quality, its like old. I like this video. It is very useful

Informative but his voice could use some emotion. Thanks for the great video

You left out the part when beta decays a proton is transmuted into a neutron and a neutrino (little neutral lepton) is also discharged.

Hello...gamma radiationts is not stopped by lead but just reduced

FYI, every electromagnetic waves is both particle and wave, including gamma rays

Great video! Keep up the great content

Simply superb... Thanks

Thank yo soo much this really helped me alot !!

WOW LOVE THIS

I loved this ! thank you :)

Great Video! Really Worth Science!

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?

Thank you so much. Very helpful

Photons have no mass. E=M+p means energy can be converted to mass, not energy is mass.

Very informative video, however ur voice kept on making me try clear my throat

Thank you my test passed smoothly

put english subtitles please

Thankuuuuu very much. It helped me a lot

Hy ! Great video, i'm french and I don't anderstand all but it's beter than my notes, thank you !

Thanks

thanks

very well explained

thank you very much !

Great easy to follow video, thank you :)

the best way to teach....❤

What is higher than gamma rays? Omega rays?

the best way to teach....❤

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

i know my teacher uses this video alot for lessons haha. hello mr below

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.

Is this the same as electron capture? If not then tell the difference plz

What is the highest frequency that is the end of the spectrum? Omega Rays?

thanks virtual school

Quarantine education boss

u cant stop gamma rays.... use the word reduce or minimize instead of " STOP"

Très intéressant et instructif ! ^^

Awesome video!! thanks :)

U forgot the beta+, Electron capture and the inner Konversion. Please correct me if i spelled it wrong i'm from Austria we call it Elektroneneinfang and innere Konversion

Very helpful, thank you!

Thank you.

What about cosmic rays

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.

thank you so much!

0:12 photographic pepper

What about neutron radiation?

Thanks a lot

Gamma is the one that has range. My Ra 226 ship marker goes insane . That disc shoots up over 100,000cpm Gamma with it. Even detectable through lead. Do not worry it is stored a decent distance from where I sleep.

Seriously, gamma radiation can FUCK YOU UP!!!😰

α β γ δ ε ζ η θ ι κ λ μ ν ξ ο π ρ σ τ υ φ χ ψ ω These are all the letters of the Greek alphabet that are used by maths.

Really helpful 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

He sounds like viktor bryukhanov..... Those who watched Chernobyl series would get it...

Luv the audio

Photons are particles, massless, but as much particle as any other. QFT, Word.

This presentation makes.one sleepy.

did the other voice overs die?

2:22 that's why "BIG SHOW'S" name starts with a "B"

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

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.

So many rude comments. Unnecessary.

Awesome video Keep sending them

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.

well, because Gamma rays are photons, they are tecnically photon particles at the same time as being wavelenghts.

Good

do they have a video on magnetic fields?

What about neutrons?

This from the reasons I want to learn Greek

instead of a mic you should try wring up a dead horse it might be alittle more clear.

sir y teeno radiation nikalti kon s source s h mainly vo btana aap mughe

please give your narrators a decent microphone! the animations are great, but they need decent sound.

Actually gamma isent stopped by lead but it is slowed down not stopped though great vid anyways

love it i understood 😜😜

nice video

Me love this :)

Good vid m8

Lead does not stop gamma rays. it slows it down :)

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.

it is amazing

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!

Can be made better by changing the voice

thank you...
