Are the alpha particle and helium nucleus the same thing?
Yes and no, alpha particles are a form or radiation (a helium nucleus), they are emitted from an unstable radioactive element which decays (and turns into some lighter element) by emitting the alpha particle. This form of decay is called alpha decay.
What radiation results in the emission of protons?
This radiation can be called protonic.
Intercepted solar radiation is called?
Insolation is intercepted solar radiation.
What layer protects us from what kind of radiation?
The ozone layer protects us from the radiation of sun. This radiation is called ultraviolet radiation and is very harmful.
What is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element is called an?
The smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element is called an atom.
What is it called when When an element's nucleus changes to that of a new element?
Radiation?
Are the alpha particle and helium nucleus the same thing?
Yes and no, alpha particles are a form or radiation (a helium nucleus), they are emitted from an unstable radioactive element which decays (and turns into some lighter element) by emitting the alpha particle. This form of decay is called alpha decay.
What is an element that gives off radiation as it slowly changes into a nonradioactive element called?
This is a radioactive chemical element.
What is the difference between bremsstrahlung and characteristic radiation?
Bremstrahlung is German for "braking radiation." It refers to radiation that is associated with the positive or negative acceleration of charged particles. The energy of the emitted photon equals the loss of kinetic energy of the particle. Characteristic radiation refers to groups of discrete wavelengths characteristic of the emitting element.
Is a light emitting diode called a light emitting diode if its not on?
YES
What is the movement of heat in the form of electromagnet waves called?
The question is not very precise, so there could be a couple of answers you are looking for. If you mean what is the name of the process by which heat is removed from an object by emitting electromagnetic radiation then the answer is thermal radiation. Wikipedia has a fairly useful article of that title.
What is the meaning of Light amplification by stimulated emission of radion?
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, or Laser for short, is a mechanism for emitting light within the electromagnetic radiation through a process called stimulated emission.A more detailed report can be found here:http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser
Substances which will glow in the dark after being exposed to sunlight are called?
phosphoresce phos·pho·resced, phos·pho·resc·ing, phos·pho·resc·es To persist in emitting light, unaccompanied by sensible heat or combustion, after exposure to and removal of a source of radiation.
Is heat radiation called infrared radiation?
yes, heat radiation is called infrared radiation
Why is led called led?
because it is a Light Emitting Diode
What is the Name of gas emitting hole in volcano?
Such a hole is called a fumarole.
Process which unstable nuclei emit radiation is called?
This process through which unstable nuclei emit radiation is called radioactive decay. It also is called nuclear decay, and it is a natural process in which an atom of an isotope decomposes into a new element.
