What term is defined as the emission of energy from subatomic particles?
Radiation is an emission. For example, gamma radiation from a nuclear decay is an emission of energy, photons.
What geiger counter measure?
A geiger counter measures radioactivity. It detects the emission of nuclear radiation from alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.
Which of the following is not a type of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles neutron emission x rays?
X-rays are not a type of nuclear radiation. They are a type of electromagnetic radiation.
What type of nuclear radiation can travel farthest through matter?
neutron emission
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.
Why helium atom is the nuclear emission of the alpha radiation?
Both have 2 protons and 2 neutrons
Differences between the four main types of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles gamma rays and neutron emission?
There are only three types of nuclear radiation - Alpha, Beta & Gamma.
What is alpha particle detector and what is the application of bjt in alpha particle detector?
A Geiger counter, also called a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. They detect the emission of nuclear radiation: alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays. A Geiger counter detects radiation by ionization produced in a low-pressure gas in a Geiger-Müller tube
What has the author A Edward Profio written?
A. Edward Profio has written: 'Experimental reactor physics' -- subject(s): Experiments, Measurement, Neutrons, Nuclear physics, Nuclear reactors, Radiation 'Radiation shielding and dosimetry' -- subject(s): Dosage, Medical Radiology, Radiation, Radiation dosimetry, Safety measures, Shielding (Radiation)
What is Geiger meter?
A Geiger counter, also called a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. They are notable for being used to detect if objects emit nuclear radiation.
Is a cat scan nuclear fusion or nuclear fission?
Neither, a CAT scan is one where computers are used to synthesise an image, but the radiation used is usually X-rays, though positron emission can be used, in this case it will be using appropriate radiation sources. Fusion and fission don't come into it.
What is the definition for radioactivity?
Spontaneous emission of ionizing radiation as a consequence of a nuclear reaction, or directly from the breakdown of an unstable nucleus; The radiation so emitted; including gamma rays, alpha particles, neutrons, electrons, positrons, etc
