The radiation originates in the atom, usually in the nucleus of the atom as a result of the atom being split.

List the three main types of nuclear radiation in order of increasing ionizing ability?
Alpha, Beta, Gamma and cosmic are all examples of radiation.Types of radiation could be:Ionizing radiationElectromagnetic radiationInfra red radiation
Types of radiation rays?
alpha , beta, gamma
What are three types of nuclear radiation?
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
What is the ionizing power of alpha beta gamma?
Of alpha, beta and gamma radiation, gamma radiation has the greater ability to penetrate either shielding or living tissue. The penetration issue aside, a contact source that is an alpha emitter can do more tissue damage than beta or gamma radiation. Alpha and beta radiation are particulate radiation. They involve a particle. Gamma radiation is electromagnetic radiation of high energy. Use the links below to learn more about each type of radiation and get a handle on what's up.
Is alpha and beta decay are almost always accompanied by what?
gamma radiation
What are the products of radioactive decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
What three products of radioactive decay?
alpha particles, beta particles, gamma radiation
What are 3 kinds of radiation given off by radioactive substances?
Alpha, Beta , and Gamma!
What do you mean by radioactive?
An element that has an unstable nucleus and therefore emits alpha, beta and/or gamma radiation.
Radioactive decay is when unstable atoms?
give off nuclear radiation
What do you mean by radioactive element?
An element that has an unstable nucleus and therefore emits alpha, beta and/or gamma radiation.
What is the danger of nuclear radiation?
Ionising radiation from Alpha, Beta and Gamma emissions (from radioactive materials) are harmful to most organs of the body.
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.
Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Beta radiation is made from electrons (or positrons for inverse beta radiation). Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus, and gamma radiation is a high energy electromagnetic ray.
What are the types of radioactive decay?
alpha, beta, gamma.
A radioactive isotope is an isotope that?
radiates either alpha beta or gamma radiation, in order to go to a more stable state
Radioactive decay is the most dangerous?
There are three types: Beta decay, alpha decay, and gamma decay/gamma rays. They are all dangerous if exposed to a high amount of radioactive matter. When the radioactive isotope undergoes beta, alpha, and gamma decay, there is an emission of a beta particle, alpha particle, and gamma ray (respectively). In highly radioactive matter, there are often trillions of radioactive isotopes that emit these particles and/or rays - and they are very high-energy once emitted. However, they are only dangerous when exposed to a high amount.
