Any element that gives off radioactivity in the form of alpha or beta is undergoing a nuclear reaction and emitting some energy in doing so. Naturally ocurring radioactive materials include radium, radon, uranium. There are hundreds of radioactive isotopes produced artificially as well, from many other elements.
Radioactive
Radium is an example
Oil and gas,
Electrical energy can be converted to light. In addition, nuclear energy as in a nuclear weapon will give off a blinding flash of light. Also, using fireflies as an example, chemical reactions can also give off light energy.
one is nuclear energy another is gravity pull the energy onto the surface
Energy production is one of the benefits.It gives off a lot of energy
Hydrogen gives off radiation, but uranium is more known for it's nuclear radioactivity due to its use in nuclear reactors.
the sunlight gives off a form of radiation which causes sun burns.
While there are no electricity sources that are one hundred percent clean for the environment, nuclear energy is close to the top of best energy sources. While nuclear energy will give a radioactive material, there are no dangerous air emissions, because nuclear energy gives off steam.
No, nuclear power is not the only energy source that gives off radiation. Coal-fired power plants, for example, also release radioactive materials into the environment. However, nuclear power plants do release more radiation than other energy sources.
The sun gives off solar energy, but the sun runs on chemical/nuclear reactions, fusion, converting hydrogen-1 to helium-4.
Sounds to me like radiation from a radioactive isotope. The breaking down part would be the half-life. But the isotope won't completely break down. Only until it reaches a stable form. Such as, radium-226 decays finally to lead-206. During the process it emits charged Alpha particles.
