What are examples of radioactivity?
For example natural and artificial radioactivity.
What are radioactivity?
Radioactivity was discovered by Henry Becquerel but the term 'Radioactivity' was given by Madam Curie. It is the process of process of spontaneous disintegration of nucleus and is measured by Geiger counter.
Where does most of the radioactivity that you personally encounter come from?
The radioactivity that people encounter on a regular basis actually comes from their natural environment rather than the radioactivity being from some manmade source.
Who was credited was the discovery of radioactivity?
Henri Becquerel was a French scientist who was credited for the discovery of radioactivity. He was credited in 1896.
When was the discovery of radioactivity?
Radioactivity was first discovered by Henri Becquerel on the 1890s. He received the Nobel Prize, along with the Curie's, for this work.
The term radioactivity is further explained by the use of a what?
a definition
Is this true radioactivity and radioactive decay are two distinct phenomena?
True and False. Radioactivity is a characteristic of unstable atomic nuclei, whereas radioactive decay is the process that a radioactive nucleus undergoes when it decays due to its instability.Argument for true: Radioactivity is the tendency to undergo radioactive decay.Argument for false: The two terms are unrelated because one is a characteristic and the other is a process, and, therefore, the question misunderstands the definition of the terms.You choose your definition. This writer prefers false.
What is the best definition of half life for a radioactive substance?
The time taken for the radioactivity to halve its intensity, starting from any arbitrarily chosen instant.
How does radioactivity affect the water cycle?
Radioactivity affect the water molecules. Radioactivity makes it harmful
Advantages of nuclear radioactivity?
What other sort of radioactivity is there?
What are examples of radioactivity?

Radioactivity can be what?
Radioactivity can be induced in ordinary matter by artificial transmutation.
Do you messure radioactivity in literes?
You cannot measure radioactivity in litres
How much radioactivity is in Japan?
Radioactivity in Japan is about 15,000 terabecquerels.
What is the power formula for radioactivity?
Human + A lot of radioactivity = Dead
Can copper be converted into gold by artificial radioactivity?
Artifical radioactivity
When did Marie curie build radioactivity?
no but she built the knowleage of radioactivity.
