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.

If you were Becquerel what are some possible tests that you can do to identify the radiation emitted by uranium salt?
In the time of Becquerel only the photographic plate.
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.
Is radioactive uranium positively charged?
The alpha radiation emitted from uranium isotopes is an ionizing radiation.
When a uranium atom 92u235 decays radioactivity to became protactinium 91u231 the radiation emitted are?
entropy
Is exposure to uranium yellow cake dangerous?
The simple exposure to natural uranium is not so dangerous because the gamma radiation emitted is not so energetic and also it is auto-absorbed in the uranium material. The danger is to inhale or to ingest uranium compounds.
How many radiations are emitted by uranium?
Uranium-238 emits alpha radiation; its half-life is 4,468×109 year.
What is a advantages of uranium rays?
Uranium is not used for the radiations emitted.
Radiation is one of the long-term effects of a nuclear detonation wich of the fallowing type of radiation is emitted only during detonation?
Mostly Uranium 235, Uranium 238, and Plutonium 239 Also fission fragments. If your talking about any kind of radiation then it would be thermal radiation from the heat blast. When you split the Uranium atom you get 2 Neutrons, 2 protons + 2 fission fragments. 1 of the 2 neutrons will be uranium 235 and the other plutonium 239. the radiation from a nuclear blast will at first be heat. This will be continious until the energy that created it is depleated. Note Uranium 238 is weaker than Uranium 235 and it absorbs neutrons. Uranium 235 has a far greater Neutron density (99.3%) Uranium 238 = (0.7%)
What experiment will you conduct to identify the radation emitted by the uranium salt?
For gamma radiations: gamma radiometry, gamma spectrometry For fluorescence: irradiation with UV light in a dark room
When a uranium atom decays radioactivity to become protactinium the radiation emitted is?
Some possible decays:- U-231------------Pa-231 (by electron capture)- U-229------------Pa-229 (emission of a beta particle)- U-228------------Pa-228 (by electron capture)
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.
Is it possible to stop uranium giving out radiation?
The most important gamma radiation of natural uranium has an energy of 183,72 keV; a very small percent of the gamma radiation has an energy of 221,38 keV. A container with the wall thickness of some millimeters (made from steel, leaded glass) is sufficient for the protection from non-irradiated uranium. Note that the gamma radiation is also autoabsorbed in the bulk of uranium.
