Three types of radiation are given off, depending on the exact reaction. The radiations are called alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei; beta radiation consists of electrons or positrons; gamma radiation consists of high-energy photons (electromagnetic radiation).

How are surfaces different from body waves?
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
When nuclear fusion occurs what form of radiation is released from the star?
Positrons and neutrinos are released by nuclear fusion.
Erosional processes that modify marine structures include?
waves, currents and chemical reactions
Which type of nuclear radiation travels the fastest?
All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed. We usually call it "the speed of light" but it's the same for all other forms of electromagnetic waves.
What other kind of energy is there besides potential and kinetic?
Besides potential and kinetic energy, there are various other forms of energy, such as thermal energy (associated with heat), chemical energy (stored in the bonds of molecules), electrical energy (related to the movement of electric charges), nuclear energy (released during nuclear reactions), electromagnetic energy (including light, radio waves, etc.), and sound energy (produced by the vibrations of objects).
What electromagnetic wave is found in space or nuclear explosions?
Gamma rays. These high energy electromagnetic waves are given of in nuclear reactions (including those in stars)
Waves that can make the ground roll like ocean waves they usually cause the most damage during an earthquake?
Waves that can make the ground roll like ocesn waves; they usually cause the most damage during the earthquake
Is there a difference between radiation and nuclear radiation?
Radiation generally describes non harmful waves such as radio waves and light wave while nuclear radiation usually describes emission of harmful gamma rays.
What in the hell are radio waves?
radiation or nuclear waves
What is waves does a nuclear bomb have?
none, only p waves.
Would solid matter have to be turned in to light to reach the speed of light?
Matter has mass. Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light; only massless particles, electromagnetic waves, and gravity waves can. It is possible to turn matter into energy and emit it in the form of electromagnetic radiation such as light. This process occurs during nuclear reactions and when matter and antimatter annihilate one another.
What kind of nuclear waste are produced by nuclear energy?
Radioactive waves
What wave is involved in sunbathing?
Nuclear Waves
How are surfaces different from body waves?
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
Do nuclear explosions cause seismic waves?
Yes.
Waves are caused by what kind of energy potential kinetic heat or nuclear?
Waves are caused by kinect energy
A form of nuclear radiation that travels as waves is a?
Gamma ray
