alpha radiation consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. It comes from the nucleus of an atom.
What else can I help you with?
Which of the four common types of nuclear radiation corresponds to the following description?
Can you please provide the description you are referring to?
What is the name of short invisible wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that mostly come from the sun?
X-rays and gamma rays can both fit that description.
What has the author W J Ingram written?
W. J. Ingram has written: 'A description of FIBRAM' -- subject(s): Optical fibers, Radiation
Does Locum Tenens have radiation oncology jobs available?
They do indeed have oncology jobs available. For a more detailed list and description you can visit www.LocumTenens.com.
What pumps out radiation equivalent to that of trillions of stars but the radiation is emitted from a zone barley larger than 10 times the diameter of the earth's orbit?
That sounds like the description of a quasar. Those are related to active supermassive black holes.
What is a neutron star that rotates rapidly and gives out a beam of radiation picked up as a pulse?
This is the description of a pulsar. Use the links below to learn more.
What type of radiation releases two protons and two neutrons from the parent nucleus?
That's a description of an alpha particle. That "bundle" of two protons and two neutrons is actually a helium-4 nucleus. Use the link below to learn more.
What does LASER stand for?
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Description of a microwave oven?
A microwave oven is a small electronic device used to heat food up quickly. It uses electromagnetic radiation to warm the food up.
What is thermal energy transfer that requires no matter?
Radiation is the thermal energy transfer mechanism that does not require matter. It occurs through electromagnetic waves traveling through a vacuum or transparent medium, such as heat from the sun reaching the Earth.
Which type of device includes any point source that emits radiation without actively dispensing radioactive material across an area?
A radiation emitter device includes any point source that emits radiation without actively dispensing radioactive material across an area. Examples include X-ray machines, CT scanners, and certain types of radiation therapy machines.
What is a description of alpha radiation?
Alpha radiation consists of positively charged particles called alpha particles, which are essentially helium nuclei consisting of two protons and two neutrons. Alpha radiation is relatively low in penetrating power and can be stopped by a piece of paper or skin. However, it can be dangerous if inhaled or ingested.
