If you were Becquerel what are some possible tests that you can do to identify the radiations emitted by the uranium salt?
Becquerel in 1896 hadn't the possibility to identify the radiations emitted from uranium.
What important discovery did Becquerel make upon examining a piece of pitchblende wrapped up in paper?
Radioactivity, Becquerel concluded uranium emitted radiation without an external source such as the sun.
Write a sentence using the word emitted?
The bomb emitted radiation.
What happens when an unstable nucleus undergoes radioactive decay?
Particles or electromagnetic radiation are emitted.
Definition of radiation?
The definition of radiation is when energy is emitted as particles or waves.

What are becquerel rays?
Rys emitted by radioactive substances.
What are some possible test that you can do to identify the radiation emitted by the uranium salt?
There are multiple instrumentation types capable of detecting radiation. The Geiger Counter is one such device capable of detecting radiation emissions from uranium and other radioactive materials/sources.
How does the radiation emitted from the sun differ from the radiation emitted by earth?
In fact, radiations are reflected by earth but not emitted.
Write a sentence using the word emitted?
The bomb emitted radiation.
How radiation was discovered?
In 1896 Henri Becquerel was using naturally fluorescent minerals to study the properties of x-rays, which had been discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen. He exposed potassium uranyl sulfate to sunlight and then placed it on photographic plates wrapped in black paper, believing that the uranium absorbed the sun's energy and then emitted it as x-rays. This hypothesis was disproved on the 26th-27th of February, when his experiment "failed" because it was overcast in Paris. For some reason, Becquerel decided to develop his photographic plates anyway. To his surprise, the images were strong and clear, proving that the uranium emitted radiation without an external source of energy such as the sun. Becquerel had discovered radioactivity. Becquerel showed that the radiation he discovered could not be x-rays. X-rays are neutral and cannot be bent in a magnetic field. The new radiation was bent by the magnetic field so that the radiation must be charged and different than x-rays. When different radioactive substances were put in the magnetic field, they deflected in different directions or not at all, showing that there were three classes of radioactivity: negative, positive, and electrically neutral So basically radiation was discovered by accident
Definition of solar radiation?
The types of radiation that are emitted from the Sun.
What are the three major forms of emitted radiation?
The three major forms of emitted ionizing radiation are Alpha, Beta and Gamma.
What happens when an unstable nucleus undergoes radioactive decay?
Particles or electromagnetic radiation are emitted.
What type of radiation is emitted from iron when it is extremely hot?
Electromagnetic radiation in the form of thermal radiation is emitted as any substance, including iron, gets hot.
What type of radiation is emitted from hot iron when it is extremely hot?
Electromagnetic radiation in the form of thermal radiation is emitted as any substance, including iron, gets hot.
