Beta particles

The video tutorial explains the properties and applications of beta particles. It highlights that beta particles have more penetrating power than alpha particles but less than gamma rays. The tutorial also describes how beta particles are used in the manufacturing industry to test and maintain the thickness of materials like paper.

Which type of particle has more penetrating power than alpha particles but less than gamma rays?

• Gamma rays

• Beta particles

• Alpha particles

• Neutrons

What is one application of beta particles in industry?

• Detecting chemical reactions

• Measuring radiation levels

• Testing the thickness of materials

• Generating electricity

What is the main benefit of using beta particles in testing material thickness?

• It is the fastest method

• It requires no equipment

• It is a non-invasive method

• It is the cheapest method available

How do manufacturers use beta particles to ensure product quality?

• By changing the color of the product

• By monitoring the number of particles passing through

• By increasing the speed of production

• By reducing the cost of materials

Why is it important to keep the thickness of paper consistent?

• To increase the weight of the paper

• To ensure uniform quality and performance

• To improve the color of the paper

• To make the paper more transparent
