detonation of an atomic bomb? I believe it is gamma radiation.

Fallout emits large amounts of gamma.

It is neutrons.

Radiation is one of the long-term effects of a nuclear detonation wich of the fallowing type of radiation is emitted only during detonation?

Mostly Uranium 235, Uranium 238, and Plutonium 239 Also fission fragments. If your talking about any kind of radiation then it would be thermal radiation from the heat blast. When you split the Uranium atom you get 2 Neutrons, 2 protons + 2 fission fragments. 1 of the 2 neutrons will be uranium 235 and the other plutonium 239. the radiation from a nuclear blast will at first be heat. This will be continious until the energy that created it is depleated. Note Uranium 238 is weaker than Uranium 235 and it absorbs neutrons. Uranium 235 has a far greater Neutron density (99.3%) Uranium 238 = (0.7%)


What kind of charge does the particle emitted from the nucleus during betta - decay have?

The particle emitted during beta- decay is an electron, therefore it has a negative charge.


What kind of radiation can we feel but cant see?

We can feel infrared radiation as heat, but we can't see it with our eyes because it's not within the visible spectrum. This type of radiation is often emitted by warm objects or the sun.

Which kind of heat transfer involves electromagnetic waves?

Radiation is the type of heat transfer that involves electromagnetic waves. In this process, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as heat from the sun reaching the Earth, or heat emitted by a fireplace warming a room.


What does a hot hydrogen gas emit?

What kind of thermal radiation does the Earth emit?

The Earth emits longwave infrared thermal radiation, also known as terrestrial radiation. This is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by objects due to their temperature. It plays a crucial role in the Earth's energy balance by helping to regulate the planet's temperature.


What part of the atom does nuclear radiation come from?

Nuclear radiation comes from the nucleus of an atom. It can be emitted in the form of alpha particles (helium nuclei), beta particles (high-energy electrons), or gamma rays (high-energy electromagnetic radiation).


What kind of radiation is emitted from protactinium?

Protactinium-231 emit alpha particles, gamma radiations, X-rays.
