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.
How does gamma emission differ from all the other types of decay?
Yes, it is true.
The emission of electromagnetic energy from an atomic nucleus is called decay?
gamma
What radioactive emission has the greatest penetrating power?
hi my names princess and i think that the answer is GAMMA RAYS if I'm right can you tell me
Describe the nature of the emitted particles in Uranium?
Uranium, for example the isotope 235 is an emitter of: gamma, alpha and beta radiations, also spontaneous fission neutrons. But, for each isotope of uranium the radiation energies, and their percentage is different.
What is the relation between the use of Uranium and its type of emission?
Applications of uranium as nuclear fuel are independent from the emission of gamma, alpha, beta rays, etc.
The radioactive emission that has the greatest penetrating power is?
Gamma, i.e. photon emitted from the nucleus, has the highest penetrating power.
What instrument is used to locate a uranium?
A gamma radiometer or a gamma spectrometer.
How is the atomic number changed by gamma decay?
There is no change in atomic number with the emission of gamma radiation. Unlike alpha or beta radiation, it does not have any kind of particles. It's emission results only when an excited nuclei goes to an unexcited state by emitting these.
Why isnt gamma radiation listed in the breakdown of uranium?
This is completely wrong. The BREAKDOWN of uranium. Gamma rays dont change the atomic number and mass number so it wouldnt do anything to the breakdown of uranium.
The emission of electromagnetic energy from an atomic nucleus is called?
gamma
Is not deflected by a magnetic field by the radioactive emission?
Gamma rays .
What is gamma emission?
In gamma rays atom becomes more stable by emitting excess energy in the form of gamma radiation. Gamma rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
How do you detect uranium or radium?
For gamma radiations: gamma radiometry, gamma spectrometry For fluorescence: irradiation with UV light in a dark room But Becquerel had only photographic plates in 1896.
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 radioactive emission is a particle?
Alpha emission is a 4helium nucleus, which behaves like a particle. Beta emission is an electron, which behaves like a particle. Gamma emission is a photon, which behaves like a particle. Experiments can also be set up to show their wavelike properties (for alpha, beta, and gamma radiation).
Can you hide uranium in a truckful of bananas?
Yes, it is possible, but uranium can be detected by gamma radiometry. And the risk is great.
