yes, it is the same
no
Beta
Beta minus radiation is a stream of electrons.
Patients receiving internal radiation therapy do become temporarily radioactive
Patients receiving interstitial radiation do become temporarily radioactive
No, quartz is not radioactive. It does not emit harmful radiation.
Radioactive substances can emit alpha particles, gamma radiation (gamma rays) and beta radiation (beta particles). What they do not emit is delta radiation.It causes transmutation.It has a mass of 4 amus.
Radioactive materials emit particles or energy in the form of radiation. The amount of radiation emitted by a radioactive material depends on its specific properties and decay process. Radiation is typically measured in units such as becquerels (Bq) or curies (Ci), which indicate the rate of radioactive decay.
No, intracavitary radiation does not make people radioactive. The radioactive source used for treatment is placed inside the body temporarily, and once the treatment is completed, the source is removed. The patient does not become radioactive from this procedure.
It's a semantic thing - by definition, if something gives out radiation, then it is radioactive. If an element gives off radiation, then it is a 'radioactive' element. If it does not give out radiation, then it is not 'radioactive'.
No, irradiation and radioactive iodine are not the same. Irradiation is the process of exposing something to radiation, while radioactive iodine is a form of iodine that emits radiation and is used in medical treatments, such as for thyroid conditions.
The half-life of the radioactive material, the type of decay process, and the initial quantity of radioactive material are physical factors that do not affect the amount of radiation emitted by a radioactive source. Radiation emission is solely determined by the intrinsic properties of the radioactive material itself.
