Magnetic fields are fairly good at deflecting or blocking cosmic rays. Polyethylene also blocks cosmic rays to some extent, as does liquid hydrogen.

Why are alpha and beta rays bent in different directions?
Alpha and beta rays are bent in different directions because alpha is positively charged, beta is negative.
Is cathode rays have maximum ionising power than alpha beta gamma rays?
Cathode (electron) rays have less ionizing potential than gamma, beta, and alpha rays (in increasing ionization potential).
How does the penetrating ability of gamma rays compare with that of alpha particles and beta particles?
Gamma rays are more penetrating than alpha and beta particles.
Why are alpha and beta radiation not included in electromagnetic spectrum?
alpha and beta radiations do not travel at the speed of light,but gamma rays and the rest of em spectrum rays do.
Types of radiation rays?
alpha , beta, gamma
What are the particles called from a nuclear decay?
These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Alpha rays are helium-4 nuclei, beta rays can be electrons or positrons, gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves.These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

Is there beta rays present in nucleus?
yes beta rays are present in nucleus. these rays are due to negative pi meson
Are gamma rays the same size as beta rays?
no
What is one unique fact about beta particales?
Beta particles are electrons, generally emitted by the cathode of a glow discharge system. When beta particles was discovered the atomic model was not known and the new "rays" were called with progressive names alfa rays, beta rays, gamma rays and so on.
Why are alpha and beta rays bent in different directions?
Alpha and beta rays are bent in different directions because alpha is positively charged, beta is negative.
Did any rays are identical to beta rays?
I am rayray girlfriend
What type of x rays produce beta rays?
umm no.
What are AphaGamma Beta rays?
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma rays are all types of radiating created and used in the splitting of an atom.
Are thegamma and alfa rays electromagnetic radiation?
The gamma rays are. The alpha and beta "rays" are not.
What blocks uv rays besides sunscreen?
Ozone layer blocks the UV rays. It does it in the ozone layer.
What are the 4 radioactive rays produced?
You think probable to beta rays, gamma rays, alpha rays.
Why the speed of beta rays emitted by the same element are different?
because the control of neucles on different electrons is different and we know that beta rays are infact electrons then we can say that the speed of beta rays emitted by the same element is different
