Characteristic series of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation substances emit?
Spectra
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.
What does the earths surface emit?
Infrared radiation.
An object is warmer than its surroundings it will?
Release its heat energy until the object (system) and the surroundings are the same temperature.
What kind of radiation does sodium - 24 emit?

What is a radioactivity substances?

Characteristic series of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation substances emit?
Spectra
Which of the following is not a component of the radiation emitted by a radioactive sample a.alpha radiation b.delta radiation c.gamma radiation d.beta radiation?
Radioactive substances can emit alpha particles, gamma radiation (gamma rays) and beta radiation (beta particles). What they do not emit is delta radiation.It causes transmutation.It has a mass of 4 amus.
What produces light?
Certain substances produce light when they are illuminated by more energetic radiation, a process known as Fluorescence. Some substances emit light slowly after excitation by more energetic radiation. This is known as Phosphorescence
What is the spontaneous process through which unstable nuclei emit radiation?
Radioactive decay or radioactivity
At what temperature does Lithium-6 emit radiation?
Any material will emit blackbody radiation at any temperature. Lithium 6 will never emit ionizing radiation.
Why elements in gaseous state emit radiation?
They do not! Most gases do not emit radiation.
Do all light waves emit radiation?
Light waves do not emit radiation, light waves are radiation.
What happens when a star becomes a black dwarf?
Then it will not emit any more radiation - except that it will eventually re-emit any radiation it receives, especially the cosmic background radiation.Then it will not emit any more radiation - except that it will eventually re-emit any radiation it receives, especially the cosmic background radiation.Then it will not emit any more radiation - except that it will eventually re-emit any radiation it receives, especially the cosmic background radiation.Then it will not emit any more radiation - except that it will eventually re-emit any radiation it receives, especially the cosmic background radiation.
Does natural latex emit radiation?
If natural latex did not emit some form of radiation, we would not be able to see it with the naked eye. Animals (including humans) see by transmuting radiation into neurological signals the brain interprets as sight. This process is called transduction.
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.
