can proton particle like alpha particle travel as rays in space?if yes, how are this rays produced in nature and artificially by man?
Protons like alpha particles can travel in space. The 'ray' is probably a poor choice, if one is thinking in the context of photons or gamma rays.shivakumar06 said:can proton particle like alpha particle travel as rays in space?if yes, how are this rays produced in nature and artificially by man?
A proton is a subatomic particle that has a positive charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom.
Protons can be accelerated to high speeds and focused into a beam, which can then be directed and used for various purposes.
Protons as rays in vacuum are commonly used in medical treatments, such as proton therapy for cancer treatment, and in imaging technologies like proton radiography.
Protons have a unique property called the Bragg peak, which allows for precise targeting and delivery of energy, making them ideal for medical and scientific applications.
While protons can be dangerous if not handled properly, they are generally considered safe for medical and scientific use when proper safety protocols are followed.
