Is radioactivity in the world relatively new?

No, radioactivity is not new. It has existed since the formation of Earth and is a natural phenomenon. The discovery and understanding of radioactivity by scientists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries brought attention to its presence in the world.


What was Henri Becquerel studying when he discovered radioactivity?

Henri Becquerel was studying the phenomenon of phosphorescence when he discovered radioactivity. He accidentally found that uranium salts emitted radiation that fogged photographic plates wrapped in opaque paper, leading to the groundbreaking discovery of radioactivity in 1896.


How does artificial transmutation differ from artificial radioactivity?

"Artificial transmutation" is a nuclear reaction induced in laboratory, its man made. Artificial radioactivity is a radioactive disintegration phenomenon supported by artificial isotopes.


Is there a difference between radioactivity and radioisotopes?

Yes, there is a difference. Radioactivity refers to the property of certain elements to emit radiation, while radioisotopes are versions of elements that have an unstable nucleus and emit radiation as they decay. Radioactivity is a general phenomenon, while radioisotopes are specific isotopes of elements that exhibit this property.


Where was radiation first detected?

Radiation was first detected in 1896 by French physicist Henri Becquerel while studying the phenomenon of radioactivity in uranium salts. This discovery laid the foundation for the field of nuclear physics and the understanding of radioactivity.
