How does nuclear radiation work?
There is a difference between "radiation" and "contamination" Radiation can be of different forms such as beta's, gamma's, etc. This is what is typically considered when this term is used. Contamination is essentially when dust sized items that are radioactive are on your skin or ingested. This is very dangerous.
What is the difference between inoculation and contamination?
inoculation is the injecting of a harmless form of antigen into a person or animal contamination is the polluting or infecting of a substance or object
Is there a difference between background radiation and background count rate?
There is a subtle difference. Background count rate is the measure of how strong the background radiation is.
Why there is a difference in absorbed and emitted radiation in equatorial and polar areas?
There is a difference between poles and equator. It is because depletion is minimum at equator.
What is radioactivity and what is the difference between alpha beta and gamma radiation?
Alpha radiation is helium-4 nuclei - i.e., each alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.Beta radiation is either electrons or positrons (= anti-electrons). Gamma radiation is high-energy photons.
What is the difference between contamination and exposure?
Radiation exposure is being exposed to radiation (as x rays, gamma, beta, neutrons, alpha, ...etc) but contamination is breathing or ingesting something polluted with contaminants as Mercury, carbon dioxide, uranium, plutonium, arsenic, ...etc

What is the difference between contaminant and contamination?
A contaminant is something that does not belong. Contamination is the presence of one or more contaminants.
What is the difference between thermal and radioactive radiation?
There is no difference
What is the difference between Ray's and Radiation's?
Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.
What is the difference between inoculation and contamination?
inoculation is the injecting of a harmless form of antigen into a person or animal contamination is the polluting or infecting of a substance or object
What is the difference between energy and radiation?
radiation is energy just one particular form of.
What Is the difference between all incoming radiation and all outgoing radiation?

What is the difference between invisible and visible contamination?
hello cheeseburger oh hi ham!!
Is there a difference between background radiation and background count rate?
There is a subtle difference. Background count rate is the measure of how strong the background radiation is.
What determines the difference between types of electromagnetic radiation?
The wavelength
