There are Alpha, Beta, Gamma, X-rays, radio frequecy and neutron radiation. Only Gamma radiation and X-rays are actually energy.
Alpha particles - helium nuclei produced by radioactive decay, they are easily blocked, but harmful if ingested, inhaled, or allowed into the body through a wound
Beta particles - electrons and positrons given off during decay or fission, they can be stopped by protective clothing and a mask; These can damage skin and produce a burn similar to a thermal burn
Gamma radiation and X-rays - gamma rays are high-energy photons emitted during a fission and fusion and by fallout; like x-rays, which are distinguished by their source (electrons), gamma rays can result in whole-body radiation exposure
Neutrons (neutron radiation) - large nuclear particles that have the potential to ionize multiple cells; they are emitted in large numbers during a fission or fusion reaction, and can create dangerously radioactive isotopes from common elements; they do not present a direct fallout hazard

What is the type of spectrum of all types of radiation called?
There are different types of radiation; you may be referring to the electromagnetic radiation.
How is it possible for a single electron to produce so many different wavelengths and frequencies?
A single electron can produce different types of radiation. Radiation, frequency, and wavelength all rely on each other. If an electron can produce multiple types of radiation, it can also produce different wavelengths and frequencies, because the wavelengths and frequencies are dependent on the radiation type.
What are 5 different types of radiation and which are the most dangerous?
Alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray, neutron.
What types of radiation has no mass and no charge?
Gamma radiation
What can radiation do to the human body?
That depends what radiation - there are several types. For example, visible light, in the usual quantities, does no harm at all. A very intense light, or other types of radiation, can be very harmful indeed.That depends what radiation - there are several types.

There are different types of radiation; you may be referring to the electromagnetic radiation.
Are different types of electromagnetic radiation fundamentally different types of waves?
No, this is a false statement.
What determines the different types of radiation?
YES
What are bad types of beta radiation?
"Bad" types of radiation are the types that hurt you. So there is no really bad types, only bad uses. See the website here for the different types: http://www.hps.org/publicinformation/ate/faqs/radiationtypes.html Then decide for yourself what is a good use and a bad use for the different types of radiation.
What are two of radiation?
There are many different types of radiation, going from radiowaves, to lightwaves, and even to gamma rays!
How is it possible for a single electron to produce so many different wavelengths and frequencies?

If an electron can produce multiple types of radiation, it can also produce different wavelengths and frequencies, because the wavelengths and frequencies are dependent on the radiation type.
Alpha and beta particles and gamma rays are examples of?
Different types of radiation
What are the three types of radiation emitted from plutonium?
Isotopes of plutonium emit different types of radiation. For the most common isotope, plutonium-239: alpha particles and neutrons from spontaneous fission.
Can light be split into it s different types of radiation using a light prism?
it can't
Is radio waves made up of many different types of electromagnetic radiation?
No. Only of radio waves.
What are 5 different types of radiation and which are the most dangerous?
Alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray, neutron.
What types of radiation has no mass and no charge?
Gamma radiation
